Britons 'saving money with freebies'
Friday 6th February 2009
Research from Abbey Savings reveals that 24 per cent of Britons have reduced the cost of their leisure time in the past year by visiting museums and public libraries for free.
Furthermore, seven per cent of UK people are saving money by jogging in the park or cycling to work instead of renewing their gym membership, the survey discovered.
"Britons are finding more and more ways to make their cash go further and it's now even being reflected in our leisure time," commented Reza Attar-Zadeh, director of savings and investments at Abbey.
The research found that the average person has been able to reduce their monthly outgoings by £246 when seeking out free offers.
A recent survey from insurance firm LV= revealed that 19 per cent of UK motorists have either sold or downsized their car in the last 19 months to save money.
