How much a month do you spend on alcohol/cigs/vaping

[GabbySolisX]

I was just reading another thread of someone asking how much per month people spend on take aways.
I am ashamed to say I spend a fair amount per month on them. I really want to cut back, but justify it to myself by saying I don’t drink/ smoke/ or even go out very often, so don’t buy new clothes/ don’t get my nails done. The only thing I have to keep me going is a take away a couple of times a week, which is my “wind down” time. Maybe I’m still out spending what people do on the things I’ve mentioned though and it’s sort of a scape goat analogy, to justify my take away spending. So would be interesting to see how much people do spend on the above.

£0, but I drank and smoked before I had children.

I spend a stupid amount on smoking because its a stupid habit.
I can guarantee its more than you spend on takeaways so dont worry about it if its your only vice.

Nothing.

Never smoked. Husband and I have a bottle of wine between us on a Friday night. We either go out for lunch with our son or have a takeaway once a week, usually on a Saturday. I do have an eyebrow shape once per month and hair cut every 6-8 weeks, highlights 3 times per year and nails usually 2-3 times per year. I'm not particularly high maintenance! I'd like a manicure/pedicure more often, but it's not essential spending. Clothes wise, I usually buy in the sales and I love Vinted or eBay too!

Never smoked.
Never vaped
Don't drink much and have plenty in stock, from presents etc, so no need to buy but probably we drink £40 worth a month.

As a household we probably spend £30 per week on a Saturday night takeaway, possibly another £10 per week or so on a meal deal/chippy type convenience type meal.
We've cut out our coffee shop spending almost completely and only have if we're out for the day now (we used to go for a drive to Starbucks etc as an activity) I'll say £10 per month.
Wow £170 per month 😲 and if I'm honest there's probably bits and bobs I don't notice.

ETA don't smoke or vape and very rarely drink id be surprised if we spend £40 a year on that.

£0, and £0 on takeaways as per the other thread.

Takeaways: £0
Alcohol: depends, but probably around £20
Cigarettes: £0
Vaping: £0

Bearing in mind we have a baby so we don't currently go out of an evening, I'd say maybe £12-£15 a week on a couple of bottles of wine between me & DH.

We're both ex-smokers but treat ourselves to a vape, just at the weekends when we're having the wine. One £15 vape lasts us weeks between us.

I buy a bottle of wine a week. Sometimes it costs £7, other times I’ll splash out and spend 12

Probably around £100 a month. I'm a social smoker, and I generally go out once a week.

0 but £174 on a gym/spa membership

don't smoke or vape and recently gave up
alcohol. When I think that I was spending roughly £35 a week on wine, that's going to be a huge saving! 😁

I spend about £5 per week on vaping and only drink when I go out, so maybe twice a month at around £30 a time. So I guess £80 a month. I don’t have takeaways but do eat out a couple of times a month.

I don't smoke or vape and don't really drink much either so I guess it would be less than £5 pw

Never smoked or vaped.
DH and I rarely drink alcohol and we are gifted it faster than we drink it. Id say we typically spend only about £50 a year on alcohol for home tbh and even that's more for guests than ourselves.
Eating out and takeaways...maybe £100 a month? We don't do either frequently. Some months it will be a lot less but then if we are on holiday or something it will end up quite a lot more, so I'd say it balances out around that. That's for me, DH and two kids (third is a baby not weaned yet).

£0 never smoked and don’t drink anymore (probably 3 drinks a year when out for a dinner).

takeaway wise they are so expensive now I probably get 1-2 a month.

Zero but I am an ex smoker and the cost was just getting stupid, I'm relieved to have quit but the temptation is real

A big fat zero on alcohol, cigarettes, vapes. I rarely do takeaways now as there are a very limited choice where I am and I only consider it if I’m on my own for a night, as a treat. I can get my favourite order with a 1.5litre of pepsi and delivery charges for £15.00. I probably get them no more than three or four times a year.

Maybe £20 on a bottle or two of wine

That's it really

I've had to cut out the takeaways as plain can't afford them they're ridiculously expensive

How much do you spend op?

I've vaped since quitting smoking 5 years ago
£4.50 per week on juice
£4.50 on coils per month
I use a vape mod
I used to spend £50 per week on cigarettes!

Maybe £8 a month for a bottle of wine.
I’ve never smoked or vaped.
Have 1-2 takeaways a month which costs around £30 a time.

I would imagine it’s actually more then I think …..

husband is probably more expensive than me , he’s gone out with his family this month and that was about £50 .

we tend to go out for a meal once a week and he will have a pint with his meal .

I might have one but I’m trying to lose weight so I tend to stick to cups of tea !

very very rarely drink at home , although husband tends to buy a bottle of whiskey every other month .

we don’t smoke or vape , but I would imagine that it’s not a complete reach for us to hit £100 a month on it 😬

No takeaways lunches or meals out
No alcohol
£45 per month on hair cut and colour
£200 on my lovely dog
Clothes second hand on Vinted
