Money Saving Thread

[RAZOR]

Following on from the weird looking dude going to Berlin...and of course the tight fisted Aberdonian rule..

 

I notice the half time draw tickets at Pittodrie have a decent Dominos voucher on the back. Though if you pay full price for a Dominos you're a mug as there's so many voucher codes online...

 

Anyone else had any decent discounts?

 

Any good deals out there that the good Hat people would like?

1. Use Quidco and/or TopCashBack for everything you buy. Especially for things like Broadband, Sky or Mobile Contracts. You can make a huge amount of money back. I've made almost £1300 just from going through Quidco when making purchases. I got £75 from Nokia for a mobile I pre-ordered and ended up cancelling. They still gave me the cash

2. When buying things online, always look to see if there are any voucher codes available. Seems that most pizza delivery places have always got codes to use for huge savings.

Grow your own vegetables.

 

Mug people / steal.

 

Be an Aberdonian.

If you buy a sandwich, drink & a bag of crisps in the Westhill TESCO - it's only £3.

 

Big savings to be had when a single sandwich can be as much as £2.20, crisps can be 99p and the drink over £1.

 

Other Tescos are available, but they're probably not as good.

If you are buying anything expensive at Halfords there are big savings to be made. I ended up getting my £600 mountain bike for £442 using various vouchers/discount methods.

 

I also use Quidco for everything, even small purchases. £282 earned so far over the last few years.

Don't buy them and save £3.

Any chance of explaining this Quidco?

Tell anyone who will listen you are off on an expensive holiday in the sun.

 

Buy tubes of fake tan, hide in your house for two weeks, apply the fake tan liberally and prepare stories about all the amazing burds you got off with.

Free to join and before you buy anything online, go to quidco search for the retailer and click on the link which takes you to said retailers site.

 

Quidco must get a referral fee for every purchase you end up making. You will either get a set amount of cashback or a percentage of purchase. Somethings I have bought I have only made 4p from but others such as insurance can be big money spinners. Just got £21 for using uswitch to change electricity supplier.

Also available at Tesco Newtonhill which is arguably a better tesco and area

 

Never take a taxi* - walking saves money, keep you fit

Basically ken thouse click through adverts on websites? They would normally get the cash you're getting. Instead quidco gives you the cash.

 

I'm on about £800 back. Always use quidco and hotels.com for rooms. 10% cashback and free night after booking 10 = 20% off. As stand free says though when switching utilities can get the best deals. I keep switching between BT and talk talk for broadband. Get about £100/£150 cash back and free broadband normally.

Who remember that cunt swanning round in his Bentley telling these dweebs to pay off their mortgage in two years.

[RAZOR]

Cheers. I will get involved imminently.

[dervish]

Oh aye plus use http://www.hotukdeals.com/ would recomend only going on when you need something or, like your humble narator, you'll end up buying pish you don't need because "it's a good deal".

[King Street Loon]

Buy everything Asda smart price.

Whoops!

Save money and just don't buy anything.

[The Boofon]

Save money on expensive MP3 players by simply thinking of your favourite tune and humming it. If you want to change tracks just think of another tune and hum it instead.

If you don't want to spend money wining and dining a woman, find out where they live and sexually assault them.

Its lifestyle changes min, cut the cloth accordingly.

 

Amazing how people simply manage when the need to.

 

We waste too much food, could save a good bit by freezing more, and using up next day etc etc.

[The Boofon]

Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.

[Poodler]

Stop buying toilet roll and use your pet instead.

Fanny pads can make useful slippers. Just make sure you clean them thoroughly before use.
