Are you giving up the fags woodbine

£3 a day let me think, I spend money on food, petrol, sweets for the kids which costs me a small fortune, and vodka.

OK if I can plan so I have sweets in the cupboard 3 for a quid instead of 1 for a quid then there is a little to be saved there.

If I drive a little better and maybe empty my car I might get a slight increase on the 26mpg.

If I take a list when I go shopping and ditch the husband and kids I would save, actually I could just do an online shop couldn't I - or sell the husband as a buy one get two free

I could buy 1 bottle of voddie for the month and have some cheap lager instead.

It **might** be doable

Have you got the kindle reader for the pc? It's free to download and there are usually loads of books to download for free on Amazonia.

What are you going to do with your £90?

I've just had a thought, I can make more savings as long as the boys stick to having packed lunches. I can give them loads more to eat for £2.25 a day each than the school can provide, my youngest son usually has the school packed lunch anyway and he's always starving afterwards.

If I can save £90 it will go towards our holiday money for August.

Why not cut out 1 a day. Over June that's 30 or a pack and a half. I don't know what brand you have but surely a saving without having to quit.

If you have a tablet or smart phone you can also get the kindle app. You can then use your content on all your devices.

I can't join in for June as we've already had our June pay and done the big monthly shop and paid all the bills and overpaid the debt etc BUT next month I'll be doing this and I will

Not buy any crisps (the husband will love me) which will save approx £10 for the month (actually seeing that amount written down has shocked me ... no more crisp buying!!)

Instead of driving to further away parks etc make use of the one 2 mins away and cycle to the beach with the kiddly winks (pack a pic-er-nic) for free days out so say £10 saved

No uneccessary spending, no cushions:o, no wallpaper :o, no juice or choc bar whilst out etc : £15 saved

1 top up shop of fresh stuff per week and NO deviating from the shopping lists "If yer names not daaan yer not coming in (the trolley)" £20 saved (poss more but we'll under estimate)

oooo £35 to find ..... I'll have to have a think and come back to this.
