Good value :
Lots of the supermarkets / shops for basic food and drink ( alcohol).
Selected accomodation ( in the sun ) and flights .
Used cars .
Meal deals / early bird menus .
Beaches ( free ).
Bad value :
Pub prices ( particularly bottled beer and canned drinks ).
Petrol .
New cars .
Fancy pants shops .
Grotesque golf green fees for 18 holes in certain quarters .
Sure there are more in both categories , particularly the latter in these days of difficult economics .

Good value :
Spending time in a Betting Shop and either, not betting at all or placing very infrequent, small (less than 50c), bets. Watch major sporting events live in reasonable comfort whilst enjoying free tea/coffee biscuits, all at the expense of a Bookmaker. Particularily recommended are Boils and Powrs emporia. Bad value : Betting (apart from the style suggested above). |

I should add the caveat that the above advice is for people who, for whatever reason, have a lot of free time on their hands.

Reb why are you on a betting site when you don`t bet,stick to mooching around betting shops stealing biscuits and tea and reading free papers.

A friend of mine once sent in a money-saving tip to "You And Your Money", Eddie Hobbs consumer advice magazine. He advised consumers to browse the magazine in-shop without paying for it. They never printed it.
