Do you spend money every day?

[Dumbo18]

I do and I’m really trying hard to have some no spend days but there’s always something! Even just needing bread and milk and this suddenly turns into spend &10/£15 in Tesco picking up other bits. Other days can be train fare to work and then realising I need a drink/snack to go with lunch I’ve brought. It’s not massive amount every day but after looking at bank statement there’s something on there every day! Anyone else?

No but then I work at home and very few shops here so probably 3 days I spend

No I didn’t spend money on Sunday or Monday.

Absolutely. Thanks to the rise of online shopping and apps I seem to have loads of little charges every day even if I don't leave the house 😬

Yes but rarely anything beyond the everyday. Petrol, food, pet food, bills. Yesterday I paid for a prescription, today I bought the dog a bone!

Yes, pretty much. I do a £50 shop on Sunday and then pop to Lidl 2 or 3 times….I might pop to the farm shop or butchers, often grab a coffee or a sandwich out at lunch time 😬….and then there’s Amazon (random things I need).

No. Monday to Friday I spend no money in person - I drive straight to work, take lunch in from home, have my own tea/coffee at work, drive home, so don't have the opportunity to spend money. I do buy stuff online quite often, but certainly not every day.

No. Groceries on Saturday or Sunday. 2 intentional no spend days every week.

Yes, I catch the bus 5 days a week. On a weekend I normally swim one day. Also there is usually some form of payment on the other e.g. hair cut, travel to visit family so put fuel in car, meet friends for a coffee or something along those lines.

Well this week I have spent from Sunday
65 food shopping
1,350 on a new mattress
2.30 on a coffee

Tomorrow and Friday will be no spend at all days, Thursday will be lunch out so about a tenner.

Yes. Pretty much. How else do you keep all the wheels turning?

Yes most days but not a huge amount. Food and petrol. I shop at Aldi and home cook every night. I take left overs to work.
I pay for school dinners for my son though.
This month - Christmas presents.
Other fairly common big expenses- house repairs, car repairs.

Most days, yes

I can go months without spending. At the start of the month I put everything into “spaces” for all my bills, petrol, meds and lunch. Anything after that it’s very rare I spend, I’m a saver and love getting interest at the end of the month.

No try to have 3 no so spend days a week.

Nothing today, due to a long work day, I do spend most days though, there always seems to be something we need!

Yes, even on wfh days DS will need money for something- training cost, money to travel to a match etc. It's rare to have a no spend day.

Not usually no I spend money at the weekend with the kids though and at the beginning of the month for bills and do online food shopping every 10 days.
I order double milk, bread and crumpets and freeze it with the shop. If you have freezer space then this can help stop the top up shops.

Yes, pretty much. Even if I don’t go out all day I still end up buying something online.

Yes and I’m grateful that I don’t have to worry about how much I spend.

No. I try to not spend money on either Saturday and / or Sunday. I work and live in a town centre so I can get everything monday to Friday, focuses my to-do list a bit.

Most days, yes

I'd say most days no. In fact, I'm kind of surprised people have time to. Drive to work before 8am and leave between 5 and 6. Only one tiny village shop and don't get much of a lunch hour anyway so always take lunch with me. Drive home, collect children, tea, bath, bed. Might order something online once a fortnight at most. Go to supermarket etc on my day off or at the weekend.

Not usually , probably 4/5 days per week .

No, I don’t spend every day. But I find if you don’t carry it you don’t spend it.

I was wondering this and am very interested in the thread.
I often find lots of little transactions throughout the days and there can easily be a few little bits and bobs - our drinks machine at work is 60p but can use card, need a bit of fruit at lunch time Etc. Etc.
Don't get half as many complete no spend days as I would like, low spend absolutely, directional spending no spends yes but zero no unfortunately.
