This year I'm completing a household expenditure sheet (tried it last year but was not totally focused - still a useful exercise as a basis for this year though) and keep every single receipt for entering, including receipts for taking my cash out of the bank. It's quite worrying how many little shops I do each week :eek:. That needs to stop as I can clearly see where my money is going!
I'm keeping a record of every little of big spend that I make ( not from the joint account). It is scary when I see what I have spent on books (£33.56) most are charity shop buys. But if I got them from the library that would be £33 still in my pocket. Chocolate over £150 in 6 months!!! I like good quality chocolate and that was all discounted. ( I always share it with my hubby). But alcohol only £11.00 (bottle of sherry). I don't buy any hot drinks out and always take my lunch to work.2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

I know :rotfl:. Don't feel remotely guilty, in fact can't wait to be asked again!
Well done on your coin!
I find it quite shocking how my money just whittles away sometimes. I may as well have a hole in my purse. This week has been good though with no spends until today (the vets bill for the cat's vaccination) but a quick shop planned for tomorrow. That will all be paid cash so I may be lucky and get my hands on some more £2 coins :j£2 coin savings club 2025 #1 £166 (2024 £692; 2023 £754; 2022 £472; 2021 £256; 2020 £358; 2019 £512; 2018 £404; 2017 640)Saving for Xmas 202 £1 a day #4 £365 / £365 3-6 month emergency fund challenge #48 £10,030 Save a penny a day 2024 #32 £ . / £667.95 £1000 emergency fund challenge #232 £1,007/ £1,000 (achieved Nov 2020)0 -

My amazing hubby got one for me this morning so that's gone straight into the savings pot.

Morning all, I got 2 x plain coins in my change yesterday which are in my pot! Don't know how much is in there but I doubt it's anywhere near £100 yet
