BBC Breakfast interview

Nonnadiluca · 2017-01-19 09:56:36

Someone was telling me yesterday about an interview on BBC Breakfast, she thinks last week, with a woman who spent a year only buying the absolute necessities in order to see what she really needs to live on. Did anyone see this and was it any good?

That's the important bit ,thinking about what you are buying, and if you really need it or just want it

The difference can be quite substantial. I budget for my food ,and anything left over goes into my holiday fund for extras when my family and I are on holiday, treats and outings etc.
But I don't go hungry or cold and eat fairly well on quite a reasonable budget
