How an investment of £30 has saved me £1044

Following my previous article on Frugality and what it is I felt it time to reveal where I save myself a substantial proportion of my income each year and I recommend all families to make this investment if they can:

One Hell of an Investment

I've got a brilliant investment idea. This is not a con. It works, for real! I made this investment one December seven years ago and it only cost me £30. Since that time, 87 months have gone by and this great investment has allowed me to amass an amount of savings worth about £1044. What is more is that this small investment keeps on giving. That is almost an annual return of about 500%!!!

Clauses:

• I don't mean to be sexist but unfortunately this investment tends to benefit boys more than girls. However, mothers of boys and wives of husbands will also gain from this investment.
• Whilst this investment doesn't actually generate extra money it allows you to save large amounts of money by reducing your outgoings in a particular area.
• WARNING: This investment may not be suitable to all hair types!!??

The Haircut Haircut

For those of the readership that has not already worked it out: I'm talking about saving money on your haircuts. On average haircuts can cost anywhere between £8 to £20 depending on the style and quality. I used to pay £12 each time I went to the hairdressers, which was about once a month.

However, seven years ago I invested in a set of clippers. This was a great investment and I haven't looked back since. It allows me to have a haircut more often and it's really easy. Unfortunately you are slightly limited to a shorter haircut but that was never a problem for me and shouldn't be for many of you, especially if you invest in a set of clippers that have various adjustable guards for many lengths of hair.

Apart from a great haircut (and in my case he is excellent!) you can save yourself a lot of money. A set of descent clippers is about £30 but you can pay up to £50 for a really good set. This is a small price to pay considering you get your money back in saved haircut expenses in about 3-4 months. What's more is that if you have a family you could be saving many peoples' haircut costs each month.

So there you have it: the haircut haircut, saving money on your monthly haircutting costs.
