Ways to save money/boost your savings. Share your idea's please :)

My current ways are....

Although I transfer £300 pcm automatically to my main savings account, I put all my overtime money into an instant access savings account and transfer it once a year (every september, birthday). only ever live on my basic net wage.

I am thinking of joining an agency or getting a flexible second job in october which all money from will again go into the instant account and transferred once a year.

My gas and electric is paid my direct debit. So when my roommates give me their share of bills I put it straight into one of those teramundi pots, again cashed in once a year.

Last but not least, I am paid on the 28th of every month (or day b4 incase of weekends). So anything left the day before my payday I put straight into savings (not sure if putting this in instant or str8 to main not yet decided)

    What do you want people to say?

    The whole forum is about saving money in some way.

    there are different ways of saving money that work for different people. i put £1.0 coins into a tub everyday at least one and once it is above a certain amout it goes into my savings i also put whatever money i have left in my account before i get paid into saving and any change from my purse no matter what it is goes into my coke bottle until it is full.
