I generally prefer to shop on my own too - for exactly the same reason! Funny the way we can write a list, take it to the shop, buy only the things on that list, and go home again, yet taking even one man, of any age, with you adds at least an extra bag of stuff and blow the budget!
Your idea of using the leftovers from the shopping to help your overpayments is excellent - it'll be the best incentive imaginable to cut your weekly spend even more, too!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00
£100k barrier broken 1/4/25
Balance as at 31/08/25 = £ 95,450.00. Balance as at 31/12/25 = £ 91,100.00
