Mame Biram Diouf Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Mentioned farmers market in the other thread. I got a big bag of onions for 40p from there, other silly deals aswell. How long will they last? And which one did you go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benicio del Toney Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I went to the one in Osterley Park but they have loads in and around London, they are fresh as hell you can smell and taste the difference, getting them right after they have been picked so I guess they'll last. I also mentioned my National Trust membership, got a joint one, cost £69 for the year. Gives free entry and parking to over 300 places up and down the country. It woulda cost me nearly £25 for 2 people to go Osterley House last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacksbranning Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Im pretty good at saving my money . When i wake up first four/five hours i like to fast .(2 meals being saved)... Also i try not to look at my bank accounts ,(makes me think about money)... Get an electric and gas key metre . The most important thing for me is to not go on websites where they are selling things . Argos,ebay,amazon,clothes websites etc . Try and cycle more as well to save a bit of petty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacksbranning Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 switching of plugs/lights when they arnt in use using the washing machine in the evening, I heard these things save on ur energy bills. investing in a juicer and storage bottles, saves a lot of money on buying box drinks I do this . Saves a couple quid every week . / One thing that i do also is on the monday i will buy like three bottles of water,then refil them and use them everyday during work till the friday . Saves you a bit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 +1 on the market fruit and veg and making lunches at home Initially its long but once you get a routine or switch it up every now and again the amount of money you realise you spend is madness. Market veg and fruit is in another level; quality is so good and the prices are way better than supermarkets. Only downside (a depending on what you buy) is longevity. The day you buy it you only have a few days compared to sticking supermarket food in the fridge and it lasts forever. Mine near me pretty much gives away their fruit and veg on a Friday evening cos they have new produce for the Saturday so you can even get it cheaper. / The only thing powered when I'm at work or not home is the fridge and hot water; but if I'm away the weekend I'll make that's off as well.

Heero Yuy Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Been bringing my own lunches to work ever since I've been on the gym thing. C/S buying your meat from butchers and your fruit and veg markets helps. Also dropping your supermarket to an Aldi or Morrison will help you save. Remember when me and my boy lived together a full shop at Aldi was on average £60 cheaper compared to Tesco. So we did that most times and picked up the bits you can't get or prefer to get from Tesco. Reinvesting back in skysports has helped me to curb the weekend raving expenditure. When I come back from playing ball i;m dead out so when I see there's a couple of decent La Liga games to jam to till MOTD comes on I'm good. If I didn't like sports then I'd invest in a console or jump of a television series. Swear when I finally jumped on prison break catching up kept me indoors for like 2 or 3 months.

Lens Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 stockpiling when something You will always need is on offer in supermarkets this is likely to be everything at some point. I haven't paid full price for any toiletry in years. washing powder, nappies(buy 2 get 1 free gets rinsed), same thing CS Aldi and butchers, need to see what Toney's farmers' markets are saying. streaming sports from links provided here and not paying for sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
