Besides Quitting smoking and stopping using credit, what is one thing you have done that saved you money?

I put those two because they were the most obvious

    .Last week I asked my mortgage company if they had any better rates… The chap instantly said, ‘yes, do you want to go onto a lower interest rate deal?’
    Duhh! such a ‘no brainer’ question, I asked what is the catch… ‘None’ was the reply, ‘only that it will save you £160 per month’.
    He swapped me to the cheaper rate without any costs or penalties, it took 3 days for a form to come and be returned, and I am now better off to the equivalent of having an instant £2600 pay rise.

    Sometimes it just pays to ask!!!

    Stop going out to eat, cut out the ‘energy’ drinks, stop buying scratch off lottery tickets, buy the machine and roll your own ciggies.

    Take my own lunch to work, make lists when shopping and stick to it!! Cut out unnecessary spending. Also obvious but it works.

    Some advice I read recently is: make a list of all your expenses (food, utilities etc), then subtract that from your pay. What is left over is put into the bank (in a savings account) as soon as you get paid.

    One point though is make sure you give yourself a bit of spending money otherwise you will dip into the amount you have saved from your pay.

    Also set up the account so that you can’t access with an ATM/EFTPOS card.

    Have money automatically deducted from your paycheck or checking account and deposited in savings.

    Hubby and I have stopped eating out as often. We only allow ourselves 2 meals out a month. That includes actually dining out and going through the drive thru of a fast food restaraunt.
    I also set my direct deposit up that every payday, I have $20 put into a savings account instead of going with the rest of my check into my checking account. It’s not a lot, but it works for now.
