1. i do a few things, first is budget.i organise all my bills into how much they would be per week (so phone is month – i pay 80 a month so 20 a week gets paid) i do this with every bill. i get my total amount i get paid per week and minus every bill from my pay and then give myself 100 to spend on anything i please. what eever is left = HOLIDAY MONEY!!
   i havent heard of many people who do this one, but food bill is the biggest. i love fresh food and what not and i dont think food is something we should skim out on.
   my solution to cheeper food bill is.
   make a list of meals for the week, i do 6 home made meals per week and 1 take out night. with the meals, i try to use at least 2-3 ingredients in more than one meal, so say i had taccos one night (salads) i will use the salads in the following nights meal. also with tin food eg beatroot, pineapple, i buy home brand as it is exactly the same thing and less than half the price.
   this IS extreamly sucessful if you stick to it. it has taken my bill from about 100 p/w to about 45-60 p/w. MORE HOLIDAY MONEY
