Biggest saving challenge

Isabella_k

Just wondering what you all find it most difficult to save money on?

For me it seems to be food. I'm a size 8, so it's not that i eat huge amounts !) i don't drink alcohol either but i do buy lots of relatively expensive pre-prepared food as i'm so busy it's easier and i like good food. Also need to get out of the habit of buying coffees out, at work, etc - that really adds up.

What do you struggle most with? What helped?

Isabella, you may have more luck over at the Old Style board. Starting to cook for yourself is an excellent way to save money compared to buying prepared meals.

For the coffees, have you seen the demotivator?

EDIT: woker, try posting your own thread on the Techie or Motoring boards.

i'm sorry but pre-prepared food and good food do not co-exist - learn how to cook - keep it simple - its just as quick

Tis true. By the time you microwave a meal in 15 mins, you could have cooked a meal. There's a few books out about quick meals. Might be worth an investment
