    You notice in Tesco that it's 4p cheaper to buy two individual Milky Way bars than to buy one of the double ones and think "how do they get away with it?!"

    That's just wrong! :rolleyes:

    You keep telling people a cheaper way to do something/buy something, you watch every money programme on the tv, you leap up mentally every time you hear the word debt, you check your online banking every day, you do complicated money calculations every day, you look forward to your CC statements arriving so that you can make your monthly payments and so get your debt down a little bit.
