Name one area where you could rein in your spending

Food for me.

I reckon I could plan better in advance, shop less and minimise waste.

I agree, food waste is my biggest issue.

Takeaway cappuccinos. A total unnecessary extravagance and I daren’t add up how much I spend on them. Maybe I should and shock myself into going home and putting the kettle on instead!

Food and at the moment and take aways

only 3 of us at home now (2 fussy teens) and the amount we spend on food is ridiculous

Amazon

Alcohol.
Restaurants.
ETA- apologies for cheating and posting 2!

Oh I have a fussy teen too 😬

So many - but Amazon and Gym add-ons

I am training myself to leave things in my Amazon basket for a while before pressing the button. Instant gratification is so easy with Amazon…

Entertaining the children. I could probably utilise cheaper days out, or trips to the library or something, but I love watching them have fun

I don’t have a budget at all, so have no idea if my spending changes month to month.

I could probably save a lot by doing this. I’m not a huge spender, but some planning would presumably make a difference.

Socialising - pub, restaurants etc.

Food - we could live off potatoes and beans if we chose to but quite like other foods.

if I had to, food. I guess. For health/medication taking purposes I'm buying more expensive food options, but I'm not wasting food. I could happily live on very cheap carbs (things on toast/sandwiches etc) but I need protein, vegetables etc & reduce carbs as much as possible.

ive just reduced the amount of lattes I buy out.

Eating out , popping to Tescos which is a 10 second walk away , it’s way too close ! And going to B&M for one item and coming out with 10 😩

Food shop in general / take aways / eating out is the one that needs to be cut back the most.

The easiest one would be cutting days out

Clothes, its mainly Vinted and Primark level spending but it adds up.

I could also spend alot less on food but I dont want to!

Food. Not at home - we eat well and waste nothing - but too many meals out, lunches, stop offs at cafes for cake and a cuppa. We poo it all out the next day so it’s literally money down the pan in many respects. Tastes nice though and is sociable.

Holidays. But I actually want to increase it

Holidays. But life’s too short

Stuff for the cat - she is spoiled.

Eating out/ restaurants

I “could” eat at home but think I would be climbing the walls if I was at home all weekend ( and no I can’t go on walks due to a toddler with hypermobility that has just started walking at 3)

Breaks, me and DH go away for long weekends every month. Also have main holiday with kids, no kids at school so none need us at home.

Cafe visits , we do it everyday . And books .

Buying lunch and takeaway coffees

Wine, takeaways and meals out.

Eating out
Spend at least 750 a month
