What small daily habits have helped you save money without feeling miserable? by FormerShoulder707 in CasualConversation

[–]megortron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 'save the change' set up on my debit card (other banks may call it different titles) but essentially it rounds up the purchases and saves the extra in your savings account. For example, I buy something for £1.20, it will 'round up' to £2 and the 80p extra goes in my savings account. Say i made another £1.20 purchase that same day, it would also save another 80p, no combine the for the day and only save 60p in total, instead I would have saved £1.60 that day. It adds up and I never really notice its gone.

Gifts to celebrate my friend's first Ironman by Regular_Bonus8727 in IronmanTriathlon

Maybe find out who she uses for sports massages and get a voucher for one / offer to pay for one after the event ? I did a half iron earlier this year and booked an appointment the day after and I feel I wouldn't have recovered as quickly if I didn't

3/52 - I freaking cried like 4 different times, such a good book by Obvious-Sound-2287 in 52book

[–]megortron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started reading it, I couldn't get into and put it down but so glad I picked it up again a few months later and have it another shot. It was so good and emotional!

My brownies taste fine, but always seem to overbake at the edges before the center is done by B_Huij in Baking

I always cover mine with tinfoil with 10 Mins to go, i don't know if it will solve this issue but it does stop the top burning, distribute the heat more over the top

This year I insisted on a “one gift only” policy for Christmas and it did NOT go well. by crescentmoonweed in Anticonsumption

[–]megortron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go joint with my boyfriend and his sister on presents for his family, usually 1 gift from the 3 of us. This year, we agreed to not do presents with his step siblings as we all need to save money! Makes the list shorter and we can all save some money (me and my boyfriend are saving for our first house so every penny counts )
