Right we've just brought (well we own 35%) of our first home, we have a 20 month old dd and a new baby due in Nov.

Our average income is about 1200, to keep the house running and food in our bellies it is costing about 1150-1300 a month. the only real extravagence we have is sky which is being paid for by extra money i make from being an Avon Rep.

I need all of your help to try and cut our living costs. I will list the things i do to help reduce outgoings already:

heating is on minimum, we have a water saving flush on toilet, share baths except dd but she has less than a 1/4 of a bath, i try not to waste any food and buy a lot of value stuff.

all tips welcome!

Rent dvds from your local library,it is generally much cheaper than the rental shops.I always read library books & very rarely buy a book these days.

I buy a lot of the dd's clothes from car boot sales & have gotten some lovely things for them for just a few pence each.

How about reuseable nappies?I bought them for dd1 & now they are being used on dd2 as well & I never have to find the money to buy disposables.
