  • You dont have too remove takeaway apps just do it wisely a takeaway every now and then wont kill you. Ie 1-2 per month.

    Plus if you do it wisely Just Eat is on TopCashback.CO.UK so when you order a takeaway you get money back.

    Re groceries I find the best way too save each week is avoiding the big supermarkets for certain items we buy everything like fruit and veg and household items from discounters ie b/m and herons and homebargains and its good quality and it saves us a fortune.
