Sat 8th/Sun 9th February - What small DFW things will you do this weekend?

Afternoon Money Savers,
This morning, mr f & I sat having breakfast in bed & started talking about our city centre shopping trip yesterday. You see, our sizeable debt was not due to misfortune but to spending. We compared what we did yesterday with what we'd have done pre-LBM, & we were amazed how much we'd changed, so I thought I'd use that for my post today:
*Had breakfast before we set off (Would have bought breakfast in town)
*Used loyalty card for a free coffee & shared a cake (would have had whole cake each)
*Took packed lunch with us (would easily have spent £14+ on lunch out)
*Bought clothes we planned to buy. Had to put on credit card in order to use 20% off voucher. Did this, then went straight back to till & asked to pay the cash (which we'd brought from our 'Clothes Piggy') into credit card account. (In the past, I just spent willy-nilly on clothes, would have left those purchases on credit card & then spent all the clothes cash plus more, probably, on something else)
*Looked in 'Monsoon' as have money left on gift card. Decided NOT to be tempted by a cardigan in the sale, as it wasn't near enough to what I wanted (The Old Me would have bought the cardigan because it was reduced by £49 even though it would only have gone with 2 outfits).
*Went in Debenhams for pair of Red Herring jeans which I planned to buy with my Toluna survey gift cards. Did not have the style I wanted. Decided not to waste gift card on a style I didn't like as much (Old Me would have bought another style just to have something new, then barely worn them & had to re-buy the ones I wanted anyway).
*Grocery shop - Stuck fast to list & took opportunity to stock up on a few items we could roll forward to extra meals later in the month (Would have chucked top-end crisps, chocolate, beer, drinks, treats, etc, into the trolley for Saturday night).
*mr f cooked us a really nice meal, both compatible with budget & weight-loss plan (After a full day of shopping & it being a Saturday night, we almost certainly would have sent out for a take-away).
*Got home, unpacked shopping then updated budgets instantly. (Never used to bother budgeting.....couldn't see the point, ironically, as was always overdrawn!)
We decided we might not buy nearly as much stuff, but we both feel much happier with how we are, as well as 'empowered' as we feel we make proper decisions regarding our money rather than letting ourselves get suckered into buying stuff we don't need or isn't quite right, meaning we'd just pay out again to upgrade or change it again later.
If we can change our sloppy attitude towards money, I honestly believe it's possible for anyone.
That's my thought for the day. It's now 31 mins past my time for putting the heating on, so that's my next job.
Have a nice night, all,
