To ask what small cheeky things you do to save money?

DH routinely reuses stamps. His excitement when an envelope arrives and the stamp isn't marked is a wonder to behold.

Franking is the enemy.

What cheeky things do you do to save the pennies?

How much money does it really save you to cook your dinner at work? Is it worth the awkwardness of bringing in all your ingredients and not being able to enjoy cooking and eating in the relaxed environment of your own home?
The thing I forgot to add is that I don't work in an office or retail or anything like that. We have a massive kitchen that we are in and out of all day and I work for a 26 hour shift. ( sleep over) x 2 one week and one the following week. We are virtually living there ( we keep our pjs, hairdryer toothbrushes etc there so no embarrassment about making breakfast lunch or tea. I just dont spend ££'s on takeaways like some staff like to.[/quote]
Oh I see, so you’re cooking dinner at work to eat at work! I was imagining you were bringing in all your ingredients and cooking your dinner to take home. I do take a packed lunch for my dinner break at work and always have. I can’t believe how many colleagues eat out every single lunch time.

The poster getting hot water from a cafe does understand what a thermos is. She is saving money by not boiling her own kettle.

🤣🤣🤣

Cheeky things to save money?

My friend's ex always asked to charge his phone up at everyone's house. He wants to know wifi passwords even if it's a quick stop at someone's house rather than a visit.
He stuffs himself with food at parties, brings cheap stuff then drinks the expensive stuff. He takes leftovers home and freezes them.
He forgets to buy his round of drinks, he cadges lifts and doesn't offer petrol costs.
He regifts or buys in charity shops yet claims things are brand new and bought at full price. He resells charity stuff on ebay.

He goes into the charity donations store and takes anything he can use or sell.
He pretends to be asleep on trains or hides in the toilets to get out of paying.
He gets up early at the weekend and checks around cash machines to see if drunken revellers have dropped money or left it in the machines.

God what an awful, stingy person!!
