    That's my intention. lol

    WHat would a frugal month entail? I have been massively overspending lately.

    After bills I would have almost £1000 left to spend but I'm scrabbling around at the end of the month and could only track about £750 last month. Need to pull my socks up and sort myself out

    you need to do a spending diary to keep track of your daily spends - it could be just a note book but an excel chart is easier.
    I did one earlier this year and it takes at least 4 months to see patterns - this allows for holidays, bank holidays, weekends away, birthday weekends, visitors staying for weekends, glitch shopping, twine shops etc
    I put the categories across the top line and the months dates down the side. the categories I used
    food
    cat/bird food
    drink (alchol)
    house/garden
    misc (chocs, sweets, crisps)
    stamps
    petrol/parking
    days out
    eating out
    clothing

    the last 3 where the ones I had to spend as little as possible on
    it was quite a revelation to see the true figures of what we spend

    Evening paw sniffers:D

    I've just been looking at the Canti Prosecco in A £8.75 but should compare to T at £7

    After discount and APG I make it £4.11 a bottle:T

    Anyone tried it and is the 25% off still on?

    It is still on, might give this a try tomorrow if I get the time to go shopping, would bring the APG down if mixed with 3 blue top fizz.
