or even put money into a cash ISA
save regularly over a period of a couple of years ... then have a passing conversation at the counter one day and find your lovely local BankCorps plc cut the annual interest rate to 0.25% around 18 months previously

That's not quite the point though
By saving the money every month, you've not been spending it.

I'm in a SAYE scheme at work. I can buy shares in my company at 50p each. However, the share price has dropped since then, and I could actually buy them on the open market for 25p. However, I've been saving up £50 a month for the last 3 years - money that I would probably have hosed up the wall otherwise. At the end of the period I can opt to just take the money - plus a reasonable amount of interest.
