It doesn’t do any harm to emphasise the money saving aspect of this thread. I recall us discussing a couple of years ago, all the ancillary costs associated with drinking, particularly on ‘big nights out’; there’s the taxis, the food purchases (often quick-fix unhealthy takeaways etc), dry-cleaning bills (🙄) and so on. Even drinking at home can have its financial pitfalls, such as the spontaneous internet purchases…

21/27 for me today please.
I think I've halved the cost of my weekly "grocery" shop since the beginning of the year. Definitely a debt-free tool.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -

16/10 please for yesterday, Wednesday.
Just ordered some wine with grocery delivery as we have family over on Sunday. However there was a buy 4 get one free offer so I have ordered 4. Now to resist other than the days the wine is for IYSWIM as two bottles are for the week after next. I do feel my mood has improved but that could also be related to the lovely sunshine we have had recently.
I seem to be following you @Vanlady - hugely impressed you have wine indoors from Christmas!
