省钱有技巧 如何抓紧钱包

最讲究“合作”的省钱：
Maximise the cats potential. Someone apparently "trained one cat to sit on knee and other to drape itself round neck, saving on heating."
发挥猫咪的潜能。有人成功地训练了自己的猫，一只坐在膝盖上，一只挂在脖子上，御寒效果极好。

最有科学精神的省钱：
Don't flush every time.Save your wee in milk cartons, water down and use as a high nitrate fertiliser. Double save on fertiliser and water.
不要每次上完厕所都冲水。在牛奶盒里小便，加水稀释，然后可以用作高硝酸盐含量的肥料。又省水，又省肥料。

最讲亲情的省钱：
Move back home with the parents.
回家跟爸妈住。

最逆向思维的省钱：
Save money on carpeting by gluing a square of carpet onto each shoe.
不要买地毯，把小块的地毯用胶水粘在鞋底。

最“省钱”的省钱：
Use carpet cast-offs. One who followed the tip said 'The floor was multicoloured but looked great and was all done for free because my dad had gone round the carpet shops and asked for any they were throwing out."
或者用地毯边角料。一位采用了这个做法的人说：“地板看上去花花绿绿，但效果很好，并且不要钱。因为我爸爸走遍了卖地毯的商店，把他们不要的材料都拿了回来。”

最新潮的省钱：
Holiday House swap.
度假的时候不要外出，跟别人换房子住就行了。

最小中见大的省钱：
If you're going out, turn your doorbell off to save on electricity bills.
出门前把门铃关了，好省电。
