Just a few small lifestyle changes could give you the extra cash to buy lots of gorgeous new clothes and lose the weight into the bargain (thats if you need to). Our editor had a go and this is what she found.
£3 per day on car parking by walking to work instead. Over a year, this totals £780. This will also keep me really fit and help lose some weight.
I will take my own coffee to work instead of splashing out on a Starbucks everyday and make my own sandwiches instead of going to the sandwich shop. I can make my sandwiches really healthy and low fat which will help me lose even more weight. The saving will be approximately £4.50 per day saving £1170 for the year.
I will review my mobile phone tariff and change to the optimum contract for my usage. I estimate I should save approximately £4 per month saving a total of £48 for the year.
I have also shopped around for my car and house insurance and should be able to save £125 by switching suppliers.
Instead of buying copies of all of the glossy magazines each month, I will keep up to date on the latest trends by looking at webzines like www.designerhighstreet.com and www.vogue.co.uk. This should save me about £120 per year.
Total Savings £2248
