The Money Diet

The Calorie Counter. A product by product list of ways to save money, looking at how much you'll save, how long it takes and whether it's hard or easy to do.

Financial Fitness for Life. This is all about how to think like a smart consumer and stop being ripped off. It focuses on 10 golden ingredients including: Forget Loyalty; the Piggybanking Budgeting Technique; Know Yourself; High Street Haggling; Getting Your Own Back; and, of course, Spotting Loopholes.

The Crash Diet. No spiel, I won't lie to you. This section is similar to the stuff this site, but in a different format.

Healthy Eating. My complete guide to saving money on mortgages, debt and credit cards. A range of new techniques, with a holistic approach, interlinking what debt to use when and how, plus special sections on how credit scoring really works and what to do if you are in debt crisis.

The Adversarial Consumer Society. To be totally honest this section is a bit of a personal indulgence. The adversarial consumer society is my philosophy, my passion and my politics and it's what drives me and MoneySaving. It explains the ‘companies are the enemy' stance behind MoneySaving; sales staff get training to close deals, so why shouldn't consumers have buying training?

This is a conversation as well as a guide. I wanted it to feel more like an easy chat than a lecture, so it's peppered with my personal 'Martin's Money Memories' - stories about me, the media, people I've met and their money.
