I only ever used to drink bottled water (I dont like the taste of tap water), and it was costing me a fortune. For xmas last year my mum and dad bought me a Brita water filter but its one that sits on your bench and refrigerates the water and everything (they cost about $180 I think). I have saved so much money by not nuying bottled water!!!

We have down lights in our house so I am very consious of turning them off when we arent in the room.

DH works away so I try and allocate one Sunday a week where I do a massive cook up and make about 10 different dishes. I then seperate them into tupperware containers and load them into the freezer. This saves me from impulse buying on fast food when i've had a bad day at work and CBF cooking.

Ive just cleaned out my wardrobe (as we are going backpacking for 9 months in March and I dont want to pack everything). I had sooooo many clothes in my cupboard that dont fit or I dont wear anymore and I have been hoarding them. I have so them all online and made around $500

I also find that when DH and I have a lot of money in the bank - we spend more. When we are broke, we spend next to nothing. I have opened a bank account that we cant transfer money out of online, we both have to go into the bank and sign for it, which stops us taking money out for stupid things.

This year I will save money on food as ill be a backpacker and wont be able to afford to eat!!!! Hahaha just kidding!
