Hi besttimes good luck with your budgeting and saving. I suppose it depends on what you class as a "treat" . I enjoy a night in with friends and can get nice food and a bottle of wine for under £5 in aldi. I also use vouchers to eat out and often drink tap water which is usually free. What sort of treats do you enjoy, maybe there is a cheaper way for them to continue ?0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
House sale OCT 2022 = NOW MORTGAGE FREE 🤗
House purchase completed FEB 2023 🥳🍾 Left work. 🤗
Retired at 55 & now living off the equity £10k a year (until pensions start at 60 & 67).

Hello and welcome besttimes, we have all gone through this too. Welcome to the nut house#!!!:beer:
Have you thought of ebaying or gumtreeing things you don't use? taking sandwiches to work or my latest trick, taking in a lodger? it has made such a difference to me.
The only downside is I asked him to look after my chocolate as I can't trust myself with it and he's gone away and I have to wait till he get's back. lol Don't make that mistake.:rotfl:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
