    Hi Almo,

    You've had some good advice and thank you for posting such an interesting thread. We are also a childless couple who are trying to be somewhat frugal:

    * nice cooked brekkie - less greasy (and cheaper) than a caff and nice to take the time at home together to sit and eat and chat
    * craft/hobbies etc - we don't share all our hobbies but take an interest in each other's hobbies and try to help
    * read books (libraries are your friend - along with netflics or love film for a quiet couple time watching movies in comfy seats with supermarket popcorn)
    * supermarket shop - look at late evening bargains
    * read all the posters in the library, local paper, shop windows etc to find events like firework displays, craft fairs, car boots etc
    * get that bargain buzz from a bit of charity shopping :) Great for Christmas gifts etc.
    * declutter.
