Every Tuesday I will be posting some short and simple tips on how to spend less money. Short, simple, easy.

• Don’t go the supermarket when you are hungry. You’ll buy a bunch of expensive snack foods.
• Give up your vice of choice for one month – whether it’s a morning Starbucks or a brandy nightcap – and put what you would have spent in savings or towards debt.
• Don’t carry cash or cards when you go out. I stopped taking my purse to work, and no longer had to worry about the temptation of running down to the local shop for a chocolate bar. If you can’t buy it, you won’t buy it.
• Move to a smaller, cheaper apartment or house.
• Attend house parties instead of going down the local pub or bar. The booze is cheaper, and people are usually more entertaining.
