Coffees in London are around £4 now. I definitely don’t get one myself every day, but between me and my husband we definitely average out at spending this per day just on coffee. We just worked out, spending £4 a day on coffee every day, is almost £1,500 a year. Just on takeaway coffee. Insane. Over 20 years, that’s just under £30,000…

I’ve given up Diet Coke. After one year, I’m going to total what I would have spent and buy something nice.

Hair every six weeks at £200 a time, plus nails every 3 weeks at £40. So over £2k per annum
