have had the beginings of a genuine change in attitude

Ok, so I've just started my journey back to financial control and Im really happy to announce what seems like a genuine change in my attitude towards money.

I've been trying to get my grocery bills down as much as possible, and I mean cost me only what I can afford and no more. I got really at Lidl's .79p chicken kievs but I also got :mad: at a cherry pie I got for £1 when it was at Aldi's for .89!!!

This was the first time had a honest emotional reaction to spending and saving, and for me thats brilliant. I'm making it into a game where the less I spend, the better it is. My way of thinking is that people who are good with money tend to save naturally because they have a negative emotional reaction to spending thoughtlessly. And thats how I am becoming - every penny had to be hard earned, I'll be damned if Im gonna give it to someone else unless I really need to.
