How much do you live on a week?

FieryBlondeScot

I used to fritter away around £150 per week taking £30's out the cash machine, most of this was a result of a 'lazy lifestlye' doing things like buying lunch for work and giving school lunch money, forgetting to buy a travelcard, too many takeaways and convenience food. from this site i have now learnt to cook from scratch, plan everythingggg etc. i am still in alot of debt and it is still a struggle but i now get by on £10 per day (mainly food and fags) so £70 perweek for food, fags, and anything else after paying all the bills. i much preferred spending £150 a week tho but it was a quick fix!!! he he

the mse way is better!

£10 a day is still a lot!! But I suppose half that is the fags!!! But if it's half what you used to spend, well done!!

I've really realised it's all the small things that add up over the week. I've added a no spending days count to my signature now to see how long I can go! Also been leaving my wallet at home - so no temptation there anymore
