When strapped for time and you can't get to your favourite over-priced eatery and reduced to regular supermarket food, we've got some great tips to bear in mind when you're perusing the aisles of your local Marks and Spencer or Waitrose wondering..
"I'm hungry and I'm fully laden with cash, how can I kill 2 birds with 1 stone?"
Cash Burning Tip 1. Buy too much.
Even if you're watching your figure or you feel slightly wasteful doing this, remember, this is first and foremost a cash burning exercise. Nothing can take away from the joy you'll feel when you walk away from the checkout feeling a few grams lighter in cash. Besides, there's always someone poor or fat around to help out thesedays.
Cash Burning Tip 2. Reject Meal Deals.
This should be an obvious one really, you should always be careful when assembling your lunch ensemble. There is absolutely nothing worse than coming to the end of your shopping trip and being presented with the dreaded Combo Save pop up. Easy ways to avoid this are picking up an old fashioned lemonade or vanilla and coconut smoothie instead of an Evian, not only are these never on the meal deals, they are also invariably slightly more dear. Another plus.
Cash Burning Tip 3. Make an 'honest' mistake.
When using a self service machine there are a plethora of ways to shed money. If you're buying a croissant or apple for instance, instead of choosing the correct option from the touch screen, be crafty and choose a pain au chocolat or papaya. No-one will ever suspect you.
Also, those cash dispensers are situated below eye level for a reason loyal Cash Burners.. just walk away like you've never cared less.
Happy Burning.
Chris.
