Save the outlay on a new garden shed by simply sticking over the glass on your greenhouse with cardboard.

Keep a glass of water by the side of the bed for those post coital cleaning moments, saves money on baby wipes, heated shower water and soap plus it means your curtains and bed sheets don’t need cleaning for another day.

Order a round of drinks at the bar, then conveniently disappear to the toilet (for a dump, natch). With a bit of luck your mate will have to pick up the tab.

Also, never go out drinking with more mates than pints you can manage – that way, if you’re in “rounds” you’ll only have to buy one round all night!

Shop at Aldi no matter what anybody else says.

Sponge lifts wherever you can.

Go to your mum’s for tea. All the time.

Hell no. Once in a month is enough.

Stop reading bike magazines and websites about how amazing your ride would be if you had a bolt through rear axle/carbon rims/a single chainring etc and actually go and ride your bike more. If you can fail to be drawn in by the industry and stop wishing that your wheels were half an inch bigger then the sport doesn’t have to be that expensive.

Sorry if this is what you do anyway and I’ve just unloaded a rant on an innocent person but this may not be bad advice for a few folk on here.

Don’t do the lottery…. Me and Mrs C worked out we only ever at best get 50% of the money back that we spend on it over a year, which is going to potentially get worse now the price has doubled.
