Busting this debt before 42

Haha, thanks! 😂 My guilty pleasure is pizza. I loooooove a nice pizza. Dominos Texas barbecue was my weekness. Now I've managed to switch the expensive pizza habit to a cheaper one, and even buy my own garlic dip. Seems to have worked.
I have a work colleague who Uber eats on a regular basis, and then complains about the cost of living. The lights are on but nobodys home. Can't help some people.

You could probably make your own Texas BBQ for not much money. I also like a takeaway pizza, but now I have been having a tortilla wrap with a few spoonfuls of pasta sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. It's not quite the same, but it takes less than 10 minutes in the oven and makes 6 of them for less than £5.

Oooo, never considered Tortilla wraps. I do like those as well. Might give that a try! 🤤

The weightwatchers wraps make a good base, as they are a bit thinner than some of the others. Bonus in having less carbs and calories as well. I have been using the reduced fat cheese as well, but I mix it with regular cheese.
