Parents are loving this tip for saving a whopping £780 a month.
The Manchester Evening News' Manchester Family page suggested an idea will suit some families down to the ground.
Basically you write £10 up to £120 on a savings tin, put one of those amounts in each month and cross it off the list. By the time you've crossed them all off at the end of the year, you'll have saved a mammoth £780.
While it means on three months of the year you'll have to find £100 or more spare, on other months it will be much lower, so you can pick and choose when you're able to save the most.
In the post , parents editor Emma Gill states: "So I've seen lots of ideas for saving money but none of them will really work for me - I never have change in my purse to do the penny challenge for example.
"That's why I'm giving this a go. Every payday - or at the end of a month - you put in one of these amounts and then cross it off the list. By the end of the year, it's a whopping £780!
"It won't be easy - especially when it comes to the £120 month - but it's worth a go. I reckon I'll start with the £10 in January."
Dozens of people commented on the post, with many saying they'd give it a go themselves.
"Good idea. I'm going to try this, thank you," said Tracey Jones.
Others suggested other ways they manage to save, including saving £2 coins or using the Tandem app, which rounds up your online spending to the nearest pound and puts it in savings.
