Interesting about the text link, I did register but unfortunately I don't have enough traffic yet.

He has links for you to find out if you're paying too much on your household bills/phone etc, and loads more advice.

Historically, I've not been very good at being frugal. However, I try my best and I was really pleased that the Oasis dress for my niece's christening cost just £5.99 from a charity shop. It was a fab find. My top tip though is to make presents for friends instead of buying them. I learned to make bead jewellery a few years ago and as well as making money from teaching others, I also make pieces as presents. Something that can cost £15-£20 in the shops might only cost about £3 in materials to make. Also, if you are quite outgoing, it's useful to find a local exchange trading scheme (LETS). It's a bartering group, where you can trade things that you don't want or talents that you have using a local points system rather than money.
