Hip Flask
Expensive drinks in London bars and pubs being has already been discussed, and I agree that they can be on the pricey side.

So when it's getting towards the end of the month and the remainder of my paycheck is thinning out, I tend to take a hip flask of vodka to the pub. I buy a lemonade and add my own dash.

Sure it makes you feel like a bit of a povo, but it's not a regular habit, and it's handy when funds are low, or when you want to stay out longer after running out of cash. Plus, bars which charge £18 for three drinks can shit off.

This also worked out well in Norway.

make sure the bouncer doesn't spot you doing this though
otherwise all those savings will be wasted on dental bills and osteopaths...

Top tip:
If the place you're going to needs a bouncer, go somewhere else.

Both the cost of travelling to the next town,
and staying home, would seem to defeat the object of the exercise.

Bouncers sometimes also check bags as you go in! Although a friend puts hers down the side of her boot. MY we're classy.
