Money Saving Hints and Tips

[Drago]

Instead of buying new vacuum cleaner filters I chuck the used ones in an old pillowcase and bung them in the washing machine with the laundry. I get 4 or 5 uses out of them before they require replacing, which saves my change purse a tenner a time and reduces the amount going into landfill.

So what money saving hints and tips do you fine folk have?

Dont throw it away. Next time you go for a dip take a hot water bottle in with you, and get the missus to thrash the water about with an egg whisk.
