Here’s a top ten extreme money saving list for all you zealous thriftmongers out there. Beware though, it’s only for the most hardcore spendthrifts.
- Don’t buy little kids toys at christmas: just give them the box. You know that’s what they’ll end up playing with anyway.
- Eat roadkill. Save money at the butchers by making your very own fox burgers.
- Save on kitty litter: train your cat to use a potty. (Obligatory cat video below)
- Pee on your plants. Why waste money on plant food when you flush away lots of top-notch fertiliser every day?
- Make some nettle soup. Nettles are nutricious and free, just make sure to cook them before you try to eat them.
- Forget the personal trainer, babysit for a friend with a small child. Give the kid a handful of blue Smarties then mimic their actions when the hyperactivity kicks in.
- Build an electricity generating excercise bike. Alternatively, you could build a bank of electricity generating hamster wheels, get yourself a hoarde of hamsters (yes that is the correct term for a group of hamsters) and… take over the world. (Maniacal laughter ensues).
- Save your leftover meat and veg so you can make a lovely pot of gruel… sorry, broth.
- Make your own clothes detergent. Why purchase clothes detergent when you can buy a bunch of ingredients then boil a vat of water to make your own? (Video below)
- Watch your neighbour’s satellite TV. Just acquire a pair of binoculars and a spy-style listening device, and hey presto: free premium TV.
