Lunchtime 2/7

A FEW QUESTIONS...

A tipple or two 3/7

With the average cost of a pint at more than £3, passing up a few drinks after work just once a week could save you a fair bit. For those weekend nights out, why don’t you offer to be designated driver once a month?

A FEW QUESTIONS...

The takeaway temptation 5/7

Everyone loves ‘ordering in’. So much so that the average Brit apparently spends more than £100 on takeaways a month. If there are always leftovers, why not order one less item than usual or make something like the rice yourself? You could save a good few pounds each time.

Keeping kids entertained 7/7

Parents will spend an average of almost £1,500 keeping their kids happy during the summer holidays. Kids love picnics, so when going on a day out, always bring a packed lunch. That way, you’re avoiding overpriced food – a McDonald’s meal for four can cost around £15!
