Shop around. Just about to buy a 1T network hard drive for £107 from
a big known retailer, most places have it just under £130, the RRP is
closer to £150...

A few quid can be saved by watching for the BOGOF or other offers in
the supermarket but do the maths! Sometimes the "offer" price can
actually be more than buying a similar quantity of the same product
but in different package sizes at the regular price.

Never bathe alone.

Launder and reuse condoms.

Use both sides of the TP.

You can get two meals of tuna from a can of tuna, but that same can of tuna
can provide several dozen meals of cat.
