Millionaire Wayne Rooney Saves Cash
Recession has spared no body, including the multi-millionaire celebrities. Reportedly the soccer star Wayne Rooney utilised a half-priced voucher for a meal at a restaurant with girlfriend.

The Gusto restaurant in Alderley Edge, Cheshire is very close to their home, as the couples often choose to dine here. Coleen and Rooney made a bill of 27.80-pound, which slashed to 13.90 pounds. "Everybody loves a special offer. Wayne and Coleen are no different," British tabloid News of the World quoted a source as saying.

"They come from working class roots and if they had the voucher then why not use it?" "Wayne's boss at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson told his players they shouldn't be flash with their cash during the credit crunch and Wayne has obviously taken his words to heart." "They could have afforded this meal millions of times over but they try to save the cash where they can," the source added.

The report suggested that the couple's move impressed people around them.

"They are regulars there. It's very near their home and they often go there for dinner. Gusto had a promotion for half-price food," the source said.

"They came into the restaurant with one of the vouchers and when Wayne came to pay he handed it over. The waitress thought it was really sweet. They may be mega rich but it shows that, in many ways, they are just a normal down-to-earth couple," the source added. AGENCIES
