How do you save money?

[Eeyore68]

I save money on shaving stuff right now by rekindling my love for vintage wrist watches.

But somehow my money saving strategy is not fully working ....

get the best deals on your mortgage and internet etc and you'll save enough not to have to scrimp quite so much.

This plus selecting to work in a bombproof industry with 20% year on year salary raise, we splash a bit on donations but this another can of worms controlled by swambo.

I spend less than my net income and avoid 'keeping up with the Joneses' but generally buy what I want, when I want.

Honestly? If I want it I buy it, in the UK jail is the worst they can do to you and at least you'll get bog roll, three meals a day, gym facilities Playstations free sex and Tomato sauce. So if you want it, buy it. You'll be better off.

Loving that ' free sex ' line ... even if it's not my personal kinda sex, but then, they do say we're never too old for a new experience.

Sounds alright apart from the sex bit. I don't fancy getting my horizons broadened inside unless they come up with unisex jails

To save money, my New Year Resolution was to get away from cartridge razors, and the silly amount that was costing.

That's working out a little differently than I was planning....

I save money in areas where it doesn't really matter to me and therefore it isn't really "doing without".

I don't have cable TV anymore but I never really enjoyed just sitting around staring at TV anyway. I can watch most anything, for free, over the internet anyway.

My cell phone doesn't get used much so I have a $10/month plan. I'm not going to watch a movie on my phone anyway but if I wanted to do something like that I'd do it where there is WiFi.

I cut my own hair mainly just because it's more convenient.

I spent a lot on razor stuff initially but now I have several straight razors, one DE razor, enough blades and soap/creme for a couple of years.

I belong to a (rock) climbing gym. No cable TV pays for that. I usually find deals on whatever I'm looking to buy just by doing it ahead of time rather than at the last minute when I don't have that luxury.

I drive decent older cars with proper engines and no depreciation. i.e. not the typical 2 litre dieseasal eurobox on finance....

That probably saves me quite a few quid!
