New Years Resolution No. 13: Open a savings account and be sensible with money

I am going to focus on the "and be sensible with money" bit of this resolution today!!

Every knows, that after Christmas, we might be a bit strapped for cash, or have less money than comfortable due to Christmas and *ahem* Sales. Curse you sales!! *shakes fist* I have being spending in the last week like it was the end of the world (well it WAS the end of the year!) and now I am down to my last bit of money, which I need for definite and cannot afford to spend on random things!! SO I have taken ideas from other people and decided, these are good money saving ideas, and devised my own money saving plan!!

Trimming the Stash: An idea I found on another blog (I can't remember which one now D: ) where the jist of it is, that you use up all of one thing before buying the next (ie if you have a lot of shampoos or body washes, use them all up before buying new ones!) I think this should save me some money as I am prone sometimes to buying a bunch of moisturisers and shower gels at one time!

Project 10 Pan: Yup, most of you probably have heard of this, and I will be taking part this year!! Buying make up with me is so bad, so this time, I will wait till I have used up 10 make up items before buying another (this includes nail varnish! GAH!)

Luxuries Limit: £20 a month! Might not seem like a lot to people, but when I don't actually need anything (like clothes) right now, I don't need to spend money on them!! And £20 can go quite far if you know how, charity shops are love!! Mind you, I think I will be stocking up on matching underwear sets and tights with this money in the next two months haha!

Food Limit: £20. a week Again, might not seem a lot, but I can live off £10 a week, so £20 is actually a luxury amount! This includes things like chocolate bars and my graze box!!

I also need to work out how much I can save a month and put into a savings account, just to generally save up for important things like holidays and birthdays!

What do you think of my money saving ideas? Have you got any tips I can try?
