VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 For the first time in my life I thought I would tighten my belt - if you ask @VR6CABBS or @Dave_ciw then I'm tighter than scrooge at Christmas! So far I've managed to save; £21/month by switching my energy tariff with my current energy provider. £15/month by calling sky and removing Cinema from my package - I will be calling them again in a few weeks to complain it is still too much and looking to cancel unless they can further reduce monthly payments. I will be looking at setting up a second bank account for my monthly direct debits to come out of so I have a "true picture" of what I have in my current account. I have downloaded a budget spreadsheet to get my incomings and outgoings down in a spreadsheet using this template: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/redir/e5897875 - It's worked pretty well to visualize where my money is going Yep, Kids & house & cars! ha ha But gives you an idea of how much you are over / under spending v's your income! So what other money saving tips do you use to help you save a few quid / manage your incomings and outgoings? Of course any money saved will go on the Corrado!
