Crunchbusting Tips

Today’s top tips:

• Buy vegetables and fruit in season. This saves the airlift cost (not to mention the environment) and therefore saves you money. Check out eattheseasons.co.uk for what’s being harvested on our shores right now

•  Search thecrunchbusters.co.uk for great deals on anything and everything you need to do, whether it’s the car needing servicing, a spot of building work, or a celebratory meal out, you’ll find it all there!

• Freeze leftover red wine for cooking. Instead of throwing away that last remaining bit, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it to save opening a whole bottle next time you need it for cooking
  

• Download your music from abroad. Sites such as gomusic.ru are way cheaper than various better-know sites and have thousands of complete legal albums from less than one pound
  

• Fill your cavities. About a third of the heat lost in an uninsulated home is through the walls, so a cost-effective way to save energy is cavity wall insulation - a hassle-free job that could save up to £90 on annual bills
  

• Save money on your monthly food bill by growing your own vegetables in the garden. Or the allotment. Or, if you don’t have your own allotment, most local ones have a community allotment where you can turn up and help out for a few hours, and leave with a bag of fresh, local produce. Tastes all the better for having toiled for it!

• De-clutter your home and put your unwanted items on thecrunchbusters.co.uk, the extra money will come in handy and so will the space!

• Draw up your own will with a kit from WH Smith for £14.99, it will save you the cost of paying a solocitor to do it for you

• Check for cinema deals for the family at the weekend, all the main players offer these

• Cycle to work instead of the car, bus or taxi. You'll feel fitter for it and it's free!

• Give up your daily trip to the coffee shop, you could save £500 a year!
