My Daily Moneysaving Diary!

Hiya

I am trying to save as much money as possible over the next few months and I thought it would help me if I can track how much I'm spending each day and on what. Maybe it will help others see how they can save their pennies each day or they can recommend things to me! I've already spend all I'm going to need to today (at 7-48am thats not bad is it!!) so here is day one:

£10 petrol (a necessary evil as I've no other means of getting to work).
£1.51 (Sausage roll for lunch, 2 banana's for elevensis, and a paper).

Saving on them costly sandwiches there!

Anyone else who wants to post their spendings or advice, please do so!
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

  • Good stuff!

    Just a pointer, why don't you go to the supermarktet at the weekend and buy a multipack of cakes or muesli bars or something? Would work out a lot cheaper. :)
