EU laws allow you to bring 3200 fags back or 3kgs of tobacco..... that's a lot ...... is it enough for a year? Not for me, hence my two trips a year, but am sure it;s plenty for light smokers.

I walk most places. Within reason obviously. But into town and stuff. Mostly walk instead of the tram

Check out markets for books and often get my meat from the butchers there instead of supermarkets. Half the price

BOGOF's

If buying a takeaway I often buy enough to spread over two meals/days. Most takeaways do offers on ordering so much and last easily

And most people bring back more anyways

If you dont act all nervous they are unlikely to check you, worth the risk IMO

Best way to save money over a life time is to avoid borrowing money (other than mortgage which is inevitable for most). Just think of what you could have purchased with all the interest charges that is paid to loan sharks.......(all money lenders are loan sharks).

If you do save keep a constant watch on the competition and move your savings if needed.......Don't let the low interest brigade banks exploit your money any more than needed.....
