Credit crunch tips
Some good ideas here!!!

OLD telephone directories make ideal personal address books, simply cross out the names and address of people you don't know.

DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

DON'T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements.

HOMEOWNERS: Prevent burglars stealing everything in the house by simply moving everything in the house into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, simply move it all back again.

DON'T waste money buying expensive binoculars; simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

AN empty aluminium cigar tube filled with angry wasps makes an inexpensive vibrator.

SAVE electricity by turning off all the lights in your house and walking around wearing a miner's hat.
HOUSEWIVES, the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in your coat pocket.

SAVE a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam, they will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for fifty pence.

OLD people, if you feel cold indoors this winter, simply pop outside for ten minutes without a coat. When you go back inside you will really feel the benefit.

MAKE your own inexpensive mints by leaving blobs of toothpaste to dry on a window sill. Use striped toothpaste to make humbugs.

SHOPPERS, when buying oranges, get more for your money by peeling them before taking them to the counter to be weighed.

They were great...I'll have to remember the one about the dog turds (I wonder if cat turds will work instead?

)

lol.....nice one RS!

(Rik pops some cat turds in the post for Minty!

)

Regarding the orange one - I know tomatoes on the vine irritate me! Nice as they are, I don't see why I should have to pay for the benefit of a bit of inedible tomato vine too!

And of course, when you buy spuds loose at a market stall, you often pay for a good measure of the soil they're grown in.......!

The head of a beer - now that's a good one!

Probably lots of other examples of what we want isn't exactly what we pay for! lol
