Money Saving Tips

[Quaywe]

Fellow Forumites,

I thought wander into The Lounge and pass on a URL for a great web site that can save you all money in different way's shapes and forms every day. Some of you would have probably heard of it and be using this guys tips. Some won't.

Basically his site is focused on giving something back to consumer. He gives tips on anything from reclaiming bank fees to saving on international phone calls or broadband to getting freebies on certain products. He's already helped me reclaim over ?200 from my bank in dodgy mortgage "admin" fees!

Anyway I thought we could all do with some money saving tips, so here's the URL: Martin Lewis: Money Saving Expert

Also there was a ditsy sounding Yorkshire woman yapping loudly on the phone (and in my ear) on the train on the way from Leeds yesterday. Although most of what she had to say was complete garbage she did mention this site www.SayNOto0870.com which gives you alternative free or local numbers to companies that try and charge you a premium rate just to call them. Again really quite a good idea!

I would love to hear some future Lounge gossip here on how you saved money from Martins site too! Enjoy.

I clicked on this thread hoping it would be full of things like...

"Save a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They

will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for fifty pence.

J B Cartland, Brighton."

weren't Viz top tips brilliant!?

"Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The following morning you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall."

"Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at the chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying the f*****g thing in the first place, you fat b******s."
