These days, we don’t have to go out and hunt bison or gather berries like our forefathers, but the hunter-gatherer mentality is still deeply rooted in us.

Coming back from town with a Wii may have replaced dragging a bleeding stag back to the homestead, but there’s the same sense of triumph and pride in having accomplished our mission. And although we don’t gather free berries from the hedgerows, we still like to feel we’re getting more than we paid for. Yes, everyone loves a bargain, especially in these days when so many of us are feeling the effects of the credit crunch. It’s important to find ways of making our money stretch further so we can pay all our bills and have a bit left over for some fun.
