Run behind the bus next time, instead of catching it, and save at least £2.50. Run behind a taxi and save even more.

Running behind a train "could" save you even more, however getting your stride just right so you're running only on the sleepers can be tricky.

Avoid getting prosecuted and a large fine for using your phone while driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

DON'T waste money on music. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

Reminds me

If you have standard UK wall plus with a switch on them

Never leave devices switched off overnight as they still use electric when the switch is off
You need to actually unplug them to save money

(It reminded me because this was actually one I heard in the wild - "the wild" being a school and "someone" who had gone on a cost-cutting course)

I find taking the plug out allows things to drain quite well

Save money on water by not showering.

That or only shower outside when it rains....preferably at night to reduce the chance of being beaten up by local vigilantes....

Avoid expensive laundry bills by donating your dirty shirts to Oxfam, then buying them back after they’ve been washed and ironed.
