I think this thread needs a bump after yesterday's savage budget!
One of my money saving tips is to work out when I'm doing the shopping for example whether a large tub of flora is really cheaper to buy than 2 small ones. I saved 40 cents the other day on Flora and 25 cents on cornflakes it might not sound like much but it really does all add up. Sometimes if you work it out buying 2 items because it is a special offer is not really a bargain.
One cheap and easy to make meal is pizzas out of pitta bread. I bought a packet of oval shaped wholemeal pitta bread the other day for 56 cents used a jar of tomato pasta sauce for spreading on the base, added ham, mushrooms and whatever else I had in the fridge which was pineapple and sweetcorn, then grated some cheese on top popped it in the oven @ 200 degrees for about 10 minutes and I had lovely pizzas and just served with salad (oh alright it was chips!!) and we had a meal for 4 for about 3.50 euros. It's a good one to make for fussy eaters too cos they can choose what they want as topping.
Anyone else got more money saving tips to share??
