Thanksfor this. I had already worked out that I was wasting a fortune but this tool is excellent!

My downfall is buying junk food on the way home from work and although not every day it adds up. According to 'The Demotivator' I work 3 weeks a year for food that makes me fat and I dont really enjoy...

Another cool toy play with.. cheers Martin and team! :beer:

I spend 50p a day on coffee and according to the calculator I spend over £8,000 over the course of my working life. Total crap but fun.

ok i have just had a wee quick peek at this and i like it makes me feel a wee bit guilty however but maybe that's a good thing will spend more time on it i reckon...anyone else?

I don't need a tool to tell me I spend too much money on crap... :rotfl:

This is FANTASTIC.... I'm definately gonna show this to OH so he can shock himself by seeing how much pizza and beer ACTUALLY costs :eek:

Great tool Martin, thanks!

Wow, I think I knew I was spending a lot on stuff I don't need or that doesn't bring anything to my life. But seeing it in black and white and all added up was quite eye-opening. I'm at least going to try and think before I spend money on 'crap' next time!

i do this all the time but with my trusted calculator... now martin can do all the work for me... thanks

martin can you add a 'once' choice (in the how many times do you buy it) though, then people can work out how many hours they have to work to afford the new £900 tv they are about to purchase :rolleyes: dont know if it can work though

Bug - clear the results then do another one. Print it and see the previously cleared one still there (perhaps bug if only use exactly same name for item?)
