Bizarre tip of the day:
If you have to take your kids to the supermarket with you, play Bargain Hunt. Give them a list of items you need and the one who finds the cheapest wins. They won’t want dearer branded items and it will keep the little dears, with their incessant “I want….”, out of your hair while you shop. Prizes? Are you kidding – the glory of winning is enough!
Sensible tip of the day:
This is a great tip which was left by “anonymous” on a previous posting: Every time you dial an 0870, 0871, 0844 or 0845 number, you're paying money to big corporations like British Gas, the DVLA, TV Licensing and Barclays. Consumer group Which? says the DVLA made £3.4million from its 0870 line last year. This means we've all been paying for the privilege of making a complaint or getting something fixed. Visit http://www.saynoto0870.com/ . This site lists well-known firms and their geographical numbers. For instance, if you have a licence enquiry, the DVLA wants you to ring 0870 2400009 - but you can call 01792 782341 and avoid the rip-off charges.
