Get meat from a decent butcher, once you taste proper meat you use a lot less of it.
Batch cook, fill the oven each time you power it up and freeze the rest.
Only buy from the supermarket when things are on special offer especially toiletries.
Shut the curtains as soon as the sun goes down and make sure they are thick and/or thermally lined.
Buy proper wool or cotton woolies and turn the central heating down.
Draught proof the windows and doors including the exterior gap between frame and brickwork.
Get a kettle that can boil just over one cup or mug of water at a time (saved me a lot this one).
Lots of loft insulation including the top of the loft hatch.
Use the washing machine on coolest cycle you dare, except for sheets and towels (bed bugs and germs).
Bulk buy spices, rice and pasta from local ethnic shops. 500g of cinnamon in South Normanton High Street (centre of Indian shopping in Derby) is the same price as a small jar in Sainsbury's.
That lot has cut my heating bill by about 20% and the place feels warmer, food bill about halved.
Electric is down as well but no long term figure as the old meter was under reading.
I got rid of my car in June it hasn't saved very much money but definately made me think about all the useless miles I did when, with a bit of planning, I could have achieved more with less. As I'm now job hunting I may need to get one again
