OT Saving for DLP - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

tennisfan · 10-16-2012, 02:32 PM

I work for the ambulance service which means a severe lack of social life due to shift work

so I save by not going out with my friends as most of the time i'm working

Plus I go through cashback sites & do online surveys

We have a piggy bank also. We put coins only of certain value in it (around 1,5 Eur worth). Even kids put coins if they get one.
Also I try to do small extra jobs and put earned money in another "piggy bank".
And there's nothing more we can do but usual saving. No coupons etc.
Sometimes when kids ask to go out for pizza, I ask if it's pizza here or pizza in DLP. And we put they money in piggy bank.

That's kinda what we've been doing, thinking of going to McDonald's and then saying.. Well we'd rather eat at a burger at Annette's! And putting the money in the box lol x

Every time I come home from shopping, I empty my purse of all lose coins (under a pound) and put it into a sealed pot bankie. It all mounts up to a nice wee sum

I mainly shop at Asda and on their website they do a price comparison check on your receipt the next day. If I get a voucher from them I transfer the same amount to a savings account as it's money I wouldn't have had if they didn't run this service.

Also, don't chuck out any old broken bits of gold jewellery. Save it up to sell. Between myself and three DDs we've had a fair amount of broken chains, odd earrings etc and the very small amount I took in to get weighed paid for our meal at Angelina's this summer.

A similar one for tesco shoppers this week... I've just had an email from them saying spend £40 this coming week and you will get a £5 off coupon for the following weeks £40 shop. That's £5 that will go in the pot thank you very much!

If you bank with Lloyds they have a 'save the change' system you can opt into. Whenever you make a debit card purchase they round it to the nearest pound and the difference goes in a savings account. It's amazing how quick it can build up!

Asda have started running the same promotion too. Last year it ran more or less until Christmas so let's hope it does again this year!
