Some of the most common money-saving habits aren't actually saving you money at all.

In this video I'm sharing 11 so-called "frugal" habits that can quietly cost you hundreds or even thousands of pounds over time.

From buying the cheapest option every time, to hanging onto clutter you'll never sell, to subscriptions you've forgotten about, these are the budgeting mistakes many of us make without even realising it.

I've made plenty of these mistakes myself, so this isn't about perfection. It's about making sure your money is genuinely working for you.

If you're trying to save money, cut household spending, build savings or make your budget go further, this video is for you.
