Thursday
If you normally have a weekly night out with your friends, try a night in with them instead. Staying in is the new going out after all, and wine and nibbles bought from the supermarket are far cheaper than pub prices and rip-off bar snacks. If you each take it in turns to provide the food and drink, that'll keep the costs down for everyone.
Alternatively, register for cheap online DVD rental and get your friends to provide everything else. If you sign up to lovefilm, for example, you get a 14 day free trial, and £15 cashback from Quidco or Topcashback if you stay on as a paying customer.
If you do fancy a night out, don't pay for one - have a free one, instead! You can get free cinema tickets by signing up to preview websites such as See Film First and Momentum Pictures and search for free local gigs and concerts via nifty websites allgigs.co.uk and gighit.com.
You can also get free theatre tickets if you're 26, or - if you're lucky enough to live near a TV production company - watch a live TV show, free, as part of the audience. Sites to check out include BBC Tickets, sroaudiences, TVRecordings, ClappersTickets, ApplauseStore, HatTrick and LostInTV. Read The secret to a free night out or register for our Cut the cost of going out goal to learn more about socialising on a budget.
