Welcome to the Lot, newbie! For me, the best way to deal with being broke has been to avoid mals and all but the absolutely necessary stores entirely. If I don't shop, I don't spend. I also unplug everything that isn't in use, and the electric bill has been reduced dramatically. I'm paying as much as possible on each credit card, and I've zeroed a couple out completely, and the others are well on their way in that direction. Yay!!! I called the customer service departments of all my credit cards and I was able to get them all to reduce the interest rates. Now if I could just bring the mortgage and insurance bills down, I could live with the cuts in pay this recession has brought about.

We try to turn all the electrical things off that we are not using just to save i know a few pence.Like you say try making a few pence on the internet.We buy only cheep makes of food and make cheep and easy food.I only put the washing machine on when i have a full load that saves a few pence on electric water and washing powder.I make my own cards rather than buy them.Every little helps.
