But do be careful you can get caught up in "spending money to save money that you don't got".
Sorry about that I gave the link to the Hot Deals Forum here is the one to the home page.

Best tip, but perhaps not convenient for all, is to marry a woman of dutch extraction....they make yorkshire folk seem positively wasteful!

Re: Tips on Frugality
Go off cable tv,try a few brand of antennas and see which one gives
the best reception. The stores allow you to try out and refund if
not satisfactory.I tried about 6-7 antennas until I found the right
one from London Drugs.
DVDs and videos are available at the libraries.
I got 3 stations that are crystal clear and the other
3 need some adjusting and the images are just ok.
I received a lot of frugal tips from many books and my favourite
is the Tightwad Complete Gazette by Amy Dacyczn.
Learn to do minor home repairs, I used to go to Home Depot
and attend their free home repairs shows.Get to know like
minded people who like DIY and help each other.
Hope that helps,
Yoong

Re: Tips on Frugality
Do you think if you diluted marmite and then sprayed it on some plain crisps that would have the same taste as walkers marmite crisps?? I may try it.
When I was young, very young, my favourite way to spend my 6d pocket money was on a 4d packet of oxo crisps and a 2d packet of peanuts, then I mixed the two together and it was just wonderful. Why cant you get oxo crisps anymore??

Me and my sister used to eat OXO cubes when we were little, then they made them easy crumble and it's just not the same.
