What have you done

lemontart

to avoid spending money when broke,

I am currently living on 59 a week dole which leaves a short fall of a bout 200 a week bills, fortunately I start a job friday but that still leaves me 248 a month short so will have to contnue current frugal ways whilst I look for more work or better paid work.

I already use cashback sites, pigsback, pureprofile shop at aldis lidls etc and such like to help but on a day to day basis what do you do

If I have to use the car I park a reasonable walking distance away to reduce petrol costs,
I use t-bags twice, stay in bed in layers so no need to turn heating on and wear gloves indoors,
Try to do one pot cooking and always use my steamer on top again to reduce fuel use. and only cook once a day max
I do not go out at all unless to sign on or to interviews and do shopping then.

what other ways are there of keeping costs and cutting costs down,

Might be worthwhile to post your SOA up here and see if anyone can offer any help on that
