Aug 18 | 15 ways to save Challenge |

Options
The Challenge
Write down 10-15 ways you can save / make money and track how many times you do them over the course of the month. You should at least aim to do everything on the list once.

For each task you do is 1 point . There are no 'real' prizes but it would be good to see how many 'points' we can all get by the end of this month and see if we can beat it next time.

To join
Post the list of 15 things you will do to save money
& keep us updated either daily or weekly.
