I don't count monthly DD either, as they are usual/expected part of life: savings & bills; except food. I do however, count anything that I spend on my bank card or use cash for, so food; general HH supplies; dog supplies etc, as I do like to monitor my spendingthepurplepixie said:Day 4 for me although money went out of my account for annual DD for car but I don't count DDs for regular bills like insurance, council tax, phone etc. I do count everything else except travel which isn't much as I have my pensioner bus pass. As it's going to be a fairly rainy day here today, I'm intending to go through my bank statements and check my spending receipts for May; not that I've got many against my accounts for any errors and to see where, if possible, any reduction in spending can be made ~ NSD 2025 - NSD November 6/15 (11 x💯)# Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel - On Rest - 2 x £25 Vouchers Redeemed, 29 FREE Books of RM Stamps & 2 x Presentation Pack.~ Totally FREE Christmas 2025 - 🎁✉️🏷🎀💐🪪🗒🧺⭐️Completed Challenges 2025:# No.36 Make £2025 in 2025 £1698.68 / £2025 (4) 💯💯💯# No.12 Save £2 a Day 2025 £730/ £730 💯# No.27 Save 1p A Day 2025 £667.95 / £667.95 💯# No.19 52 Week Env Challenge £1378 / £1378 💯# No.34 Save £12k in 2025 £21,877.08 / £12,000 💯 (8) - Continuing1 -
