I hope you know about the 'chav latte' Just ortder a shot of espresso then top it up with milk for free to make a latte.
also get a normal latte and add the flavourings at the condiments counter it is cheaper instead opf paying for a vanilla latte make your own;)

As you metion lattes, there is some creamy latte thingy from Starbucks that has a whopping 628 calories. Much better to make a cup of your own coffe, cheaper money and better for the waistline.

my oh spent many years working for car rental firms, as part of his job was valeting/cleaning 100`s of cars weekly he soon figured out all the nooks and crannies of each model and where coins might drop. to this day if he is skint he will wander around a car auction place and inspect every car for coins...he always without fail comes out quids richer than when he went in :rotfl:

I sneek into a room and turn the Tv off when family are asleep. I mannaged to turn 3 off last night to save electric...

I also find penny's on the streets by training my eye's on the floor when taking the dog for a walk.

Use Quidco

I buy supermarket own brands rather than the posh stuff.

I have also taken home the extra ketchup/sugar etc from my rare orders in a cafe/McDonalds.

hello! 1st post here, im a new moneysavingaddict! i look out for money on when im walking the streets. i only started doing this after new year and already i have found over £6.50! admittedly including a fiver but the rules are i couldnt pick it up and keep it had i seen someone drop it but if its lying there all alone, you must pick it up - its destiny! (lol!) the fiver was lying under a seat on the bus. apart from me it was just the grumpy driver so it was obviously meant for me!
