1. If you use a spray and wipe type product, next time you need more save the spray bottle and get an undiluted "pine o clean" or similar and dilute with water (thats all the spray is anyway) and that will last you months.
2. when cleaning your teeth, put water in a cup & use that not the tap.
3. DP shaving fill the sink with water and dont use a running tap
4. We do all our fruit & veg shoping at the market & it costs between $15 - $30 per week whereas at the supermarket for the same things it was $40-$80 per week.
5.Invite people over for coffee or go to their house, cheaper than a cafe
6.Turn off unused appliances at the wall
7. Use 2/3 of the recommended amount of laundry powder/liquid, it still cleans just as well
8.Use a clothes horse or washing line instead of the dryer
9.If you see something at the shops that you want but dont need, instead of buying it, go home if you still want it the next day then you'll know you really wanted it & it wasnt just something in passing
10. Plan birthday shopping and Christmas shopping well in advance, keep a birthday list & a christmas list in your bag. When you come across something on special for someone, put it away until their birthday or christmas and tick them off the list. We normally have our christmas shopping done by October
