Because I have too much time on my hands I have decided that I am going to go out of my way to save money this year. I am not going to go round all the shops buying different stuff in each one - I am going to actively seek coupons, etc. I am going to keep a list over the year and it will include any money I get refunded for valid complaints to businesses. Today I saved 50% on my total bill at a Hungry Horse pub by joining some free monthly draw thing last time I was in there (ok, I didn't strictly save the money as I had to spend the other 50% - I'm not hard up, just bored and penny pinching).
Good for you!
There was an article in the paper recently about a family who decided to give up supermarkets for a year and only use local shops.
As we all do, they used to go into the supermarket for a handful of items and came away with a trolley full.
The article said they saved £900
