I'm hoping we don't eat go out to eat as much as we do or order food in. It's just a really bad habit. But we can never stick with it it. Paying 8.50 for a pizza (12 inch from local takeaway) is a large amount and I'm ashamed it's taken recent price increases to make us think.

Also hoping we don't turn on the radiators as much as we do.

Only putting heating on to dry washing. Other than that I'm sitting under a Teddy blanket with a hot water bottle on my lap. Added bonus of a very snuggly Cat too!!

Sadly I can't cut back on diesel as I rely on my car for work

Very rarely get take aways. The last one I had was last year and that was only because I'd done a shit ton of over time and was £600 better off that month. Other than that I can't justify getting them. They're never that nice and I always think to myself for what I've just wasted on that I could've gotten something to make 2 meals with from the supermarket.

Switching from branded to supermarket own value stuff on certain products

Would switch to Aldi but ours has fuck all in gluten free

Not too worried about water costs. Once I've washed my hair and body I'm done. Can't be doing with standing aimlessly under the shower for longer than necessary. Maybe only have a bath once every few months.

@HopingForMyRainbowBaby I’m GF too and have recently discovered Asda’s own gluten free range which is extensive and cheap! I agree Lidl and Aldi both a bit crap for GF including lots of hidden gluten in various foods. Asda bread and pasta is really good and the cheapest I have found.

Yeah I usually get my gluten free stuff from Asda. Only gluten free bread I like though is the part bake schar bread rolls but they're something like £2.50 for 6 so too expensive to buy all the time
