      Don't buy expensive 'ribbed' condoms, just buy an ordinary one and slip a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.

      Save money on expensive personalised car number plates by simply changing your name to match your existing plate. - Mr. KVL 741Y

      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.

      Smokers. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting your next fag from the butt of your last one.

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

      Expensive hair gels are a con. Marmalade is a much cheaper alternative, but beware of bees in the summer.
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

            Yeah, I've tried that. It's actually really nice.

                    sasguru you are such a sad old tightwad. Do you take these 99p bottles of anti-freeze to friends parties?

                    Oh, I forgot, you don't have any friends do you.....
