- Instead of spending lots of money at the cinema, you and your friends could share DVD’s, and have a movies night at home. Try popping your own corn, its fun and cheap!
- Look through all your old games and toys and sell them at a car boot sale.
- Start a magazine library with your friends. Each buy a different one and share them amongst yourselves, this way you get to read lots of magazines for the price of one!
- Offer to do some household chores, you never know, you might be able to make some extra pocket money.
- Home made Christmas, Birthday and Valentines cards are a real joy to receive as they have a real personal touch. You’ll save money and provide a nice handmade keepsake for friends and family
- Instead of buying presents, why not try to make some at home. You might be really good a drawing, making cakes or jewellery and can save money by making these yourself.
- If your family and friends are looking to eat out as a special treat, look out for 2 for 1 offers in your local newspaper or magazines.
