Default What are you doing to save money?

With this credit crunch etc going on?

We are doing quite well although room for improvement still
  • Bought a diesel to use as daily runner instead of petrol, halving the cost of our weekly fuel bill
  • Started doing a weekly meal plan so we dont overspend on food shopping, which has worked a treat, also helps with the weight loss lol
  • Shopping at Aldi instead of Asda, noticing a £30 a week drop in our food bill with the above 2
  • Using energy efficient bulbs, turning everything off at the switch when its not in use and not leaving tv on constantly to keep electricity costs down
  • Changed to a fixed rate gas and electricity deal to try and curb the increase
  • Hoping to downgrade mobiles as soon as possible as got loads of unused minutes every month which we are paying for
Probably loads of other things we can do to save a bit of cash, ive never been so conscious of spending until recently and its quite nice saving a bit instead of just wasting it
