How much on contactless payments a week?

[Crocsandshocks]

So the bank now tells me how much I spend on contactless payments per week. Currently I spend about £300 which seems a hell of a lot to me (I have 2 dcs for context). Given the cost of living crisis I'm going to try and reduce this by half. Can I ask what you spend on contactless per week to see if my ammount is excessive or not. I know it depends on salary etc., but I feel that I'm using my card way too easily and should get out cash instead to spend. Say £150 per week. It does include food if course.

Is having to get your purse out and pay in cash rather than just flashing your phone or card to pay really going to stop you from buying a coffee or whatever you are currently buying? You really must be over spending on frivolous stuff it's it's realistic for you to go from spending £300 to £150 a week. I don't give any purchase any less consideration just because I'm paying using my phone and at least I can track where the money has gone without having to keep track of exactly where the cash has gone.
