    I'm going to aim to make mine Free-fiver Friday, so I'm looking to use 'free' money for it - eg: Prolific, Nectar points spent etc. Might mean that some weeks I don't manage a fiver - but then (hopefully) other weeks I manage more 
    I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul
    Repaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NIL

    I had resolved to do ten pound Tuesdays this year but I'm very tempted by your approach 
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target. The 2026 Save £12k in 2026 thread is here
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I finished the year at £2880.99/£3000 or 96.03% of my annual spend so I am sticking with a £3000 annual budget for 2026
    I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the grow your own in 2026 discussion thread
    My keep within our budget diary is here
