There's always a new way to save...

Okay, so I've got my "official" savings of £21 a week, and hopefully the bank should start to look healthier with the amount I *won't* be spending on food we don't need. Where else can I make savings?
We usually have a takeaway on a friday (and often another night, too). It costs us £20 and we've agreed to stop doing that for the time being. Instead of letting that £20 a week disappear on something else, I'll take it out anyway and put it into a sealed pot.
I also want to stop buying lottery tickets. I've been spending £5 a week for 14 years, and never won anything. That's a LOT of wasted money.
My husband, ever the optimist, doesn't want to completely give up the chance to win, so I will put £4 a week into a sealed pot and spend £1 on a lucky dip. Well, you never know...
