Hey there, can you stick me down for 12k please, currently reviewing my 2019 spending and should hopefully be achievable! I think the main one for me would be to ensure I have ‘treats’ at home to deter me from ordering takeaway. I seem to go through phases where I have none for months, and then start having Maybe two a week for about a month until I realise how expensive they are, and that I can make something equally as nice if I prep in advance!
Here are some links for ideas:

https://happymoneysaver.com/freezer-meals/
I made most of the pinch of yum ones for a month, and put the difference from what I would normally spend on takeaway in a savings account.
You don’t have to change your lifestyle much to make a lot of savings if you can afford some time to prep!0 -
