    Good luck on your journey.  Can I ask if you've thought about how you're going to achieve this, please?
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    I too am guilty of impulse buying, stopped Amazon prime as that`s too easy, I have this week done freezer stocktakes, so I intend to meal plan around that, apart from any y.s. deals I will only be getting essentials, shopping this morning at Aldi and will decide my weeks menu before I go.
    Do I need it or just want it.
