Tip One - saving £208
I usually buy a Daily Mail during the week, a Guardian on a Saturday and a Mail on Sunday or Observer on a Sunday.I have been checking out the online sites and comparing them to the actual papers.Not only do I get the same stories but in the case of the Daily Mail they often appear on the site up to two days before they appear in the paper.I have washed out an old pickle jar taped it up and slit a whole in the top. I plan to put the money I would normally spend on a paper in the jar.But I'm not a total skinflint I will still buy a Sunday newspaper.By stopping buying papers six days a week I will save £208.00 a year.Total projected annual saving so far: £208.00
Silver lining bonus: No more trips to the recycling centre with stacks of flyaway papers.
Thanks for dropping by my blog :) Viewing newspapers online does save money. I am not sure if the Sunday paper where you are has coupons in it - but here every Sunday it is worth the cost to buy a paper because normally they are loaded with coupons! So we can subscribe to only get the Sunday paper but I swipe mine from my work haha
ReplyDeleteI started doing this with the national paper about 6 months ago. I do enjoy the hard copy of the weekend paper, but you're right, the articles are published earlier online!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. :)
I live therefore I consume - sometimes there are coupons. Once I bought four copies of The News of the World (something I would never normally do) because it had £5.00 off your shopping at Tesco - the place I normally shop.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I wanted the Sunday papers was, as Sheila says because I like the fell of the hard copy and my aim is to live just as well on less not on nothing!
Hello there! I never buy newspapers now, but just read them online. Have been doing this for about 6 months now and haven't missed the papers at all. The only time I would buy one now is if I was on a train journey or suchlike (not a regular occurence).
ReplyDeleteGood idea about saving the money in a jar too.
