What do you waste money on?
(17 Posts)For me, it's magazines and newspapers. I never make the time to read them properly, so skim and save them for later. Then, when I can't bear the ever-growing stacks, and figure they're out of date anyway, I bin them. It's like throwing a £10 note in the rubbish every week....
How do you waste money?
Food!... i insist on a lovely dinner every night, even when we are trying to save. If I see some amazing cheese etc I have to buy it..
in the same vein, wine..i know cheaper bottles are nice but pay more for ones i know will be good
and definitly magazines..these days i can barely rad them but buy them out of habit..
I very much sympathise with that feeling of throwing them away unread

covent garden soup - its a daily habit that one
Used to be magazines and i would buy loads now i read the trashy ones and dont buy them that often maybe if there are a special article that i want to rip out them i will.
mags, and eating out during w-ends - not posh places but garden centres and coffee shops whist shopping. We're nearly always out during the afternoon bottle, so we'll stop in a cafe to feed him, which means cups of coffee, and cakes etc
My DH would argue I waste money on the internet connection being on line to Mumsnet all the time!
I pay quarterly for a storage unit, and I barely remember what's in there. If I told them to just dump the lot, I'd never miss any of it. It's a complete waste of money, but somehow I never find the time to trek out there to sort through everything....it's out of sight, out of mind - until it's time to pay the bill.
Just asked DH what I waste money on, and he said 'silly useless nic-nacs from town' so I said 'like what?' and he said 'like strings of football lights and silly hats for me and DS'
So there you go.
Buying lunch when I'm at work (from silly expensive sandwich van because based out in middle of nowhere)...why oh why can't I remember/bother to make a packed lunch???
food - I put it on the DSs' plates every day and then throw it in the dustbin
scrapbooking stuff
