Saving money in these hard times /any tips

jf1970:
Have nt heard anything,guess its not good news?

All the warehouse staff and office staff made redundant. Drivers survive by the skin of our teeth but if the tesco work goes central we are in serious trouble. Also they are looking for someone to take over lease for bellshill and move us to a 3rd party yard working out a portacabin most likely. There is literally nobody in the office organising anything bloody murder so it is.

Aldi, (of all places) have been doing a set of spare bulbs for around a fiver
one of each of most of the bulbs you need in a neat little box.

I was rooting round the local scrapyard for bits for my old Jalopy, and got a few bits which I needed, on my way home I noticed my lights were a bit dim, and then found some ■■■■■■■ had nicked a bulb.

It cost me £7.99 to replace it at Halfords tonight.

I just checked you out that you could get a 50cc Moped for as little as £500.- plus Helmet and Bad-Weather Gear is that £600.-
What do you think you would pay for Tax,injurence and fuel over a year and what were that in saving?
could be a nice Holiday

To save money I get all my satsumas and clementines from the local tip. Saves me quite literally pence.

Jog along behind the bus to save busfare. Or, to save even more, jog behind a taxi.

iv`e cut down on ale,mainly due to working nights/afters.as well as saving money,i do believe i caught a glimpse of my old boy whilst spending a penny the other day :sunglasses:

Buy a fleshlight and reduce your monthly ■■■■■■ spending dramatically.

Spectacle wearers, get two uses out of the same bit of toilet paper by using it to clean your glasses as well as wiping your ar se.

N.B. please note it must be done it that order.

When I were a nipper, I used to walk into a scrapyard, take a look around for whatever I needed, take it off and go back to the office. I’d show it to the bloke and say “Got any of these mate”? He’d say “Only whats out there”, so I’d just say “I’ve had a look and you haven’t got one”, and walk out with it. Saved what ever the robbing ■■■■■■■ would have charged for something with (usually) no scrap value. :blush:

i go to our local scrap/salvage yard for most things for the car(s) even good for wipers last set was 50p, practically new, as said bulbs, heavy duty battery for my discovery, £10, hoses ect 20p, i got quoted over £100 for the battery new…

On my way to work most mornings, i see many cars with defective headlamps, some with only one working, some with one full beam in your face, and that really ■■■■■■ me off. So its even worse if your a trucker ( and i often see trucks the same way ) so forget about the walk around checks, some are so fat and lazy to even do that, or is it because you dont have to pay for the bulbs. Myself, i cant stand to have anything not working on my car, so if it doesnt work, i`m off to the garage to get it fixed, especially if it involves the lights ( in which case i do it myself. I have just moved house, and some C…has ripped the star off of my merc, so i will be replacing it very soon…if it doesnt work …fix it…you could be putting someones life in danger.

Glue rice crispies to the tyres of your car for that expensive gravel driveway effect,at a fraction of the cost
