        Biggest money saver I've found is to make your own lunch. not only do you get to choose a filling you actually like, it's a fraction of the price.

        Crappy Sarny and a can of drink from a newsagent = £5
        Times 24 days a month, that's a lot of wonga.
        Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

          Save money on expensive glasses prescriptions by not wearing your eyeballs out.
          walk around all day with one eye closed. Alternate daily.

            Alternatively wear a T-shirt. These don't need ironing (working on the assumption that shirts do) and are easy to wash in the sink for free.

              Ditch the cleaner and tell the wife/partner to get of their arse and do it.

                Buy Laurent Perrier or Moet champagne rather than Cristal or Dom Perignon, thereby spending £100 less on each bottle.
                Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

                    drink your own urine, thereby saving a lot on Laurent Perrier or Moet champagne
