£1404 saving a year!

Extroversion · 17 March 2006 at 4:51PM

Following the principles of this site I switched from smoking cigarettes (20 a day - twice that if I went to a pub) to rolling my own with tobacco.

Have gone from spending at least £35 a week to just £8. A £1404 saving over the year - and I now even prefer the taste of the ones I'm rolling!

Why not stop all together and save the extra £8 per week

ps. :beer: I know it's not that easy

Mostly because I don't want to stop! And this site is about cutting costs not cutting back! :A

I am smoking a bit less which is good and this way I don't have to be in the mindset that I've given up. Even if I do end up not smoking I won't have "given up" therefore avoiding all that additional pyscho-trauma!

That's great stuff, Extroversion - well done to you. Quite some saving! Are there any other areas where you've saved money, or where you're looking to make changes?
