Make up/moisturiser/toiletries until I’ve used the my massive stash, I used to always be picking up new products, but I’m trying to be better at only replacing something I’ve finished.

Leaving it longer between dental check ups, eye tests, car servicing and pet vaccinations. No banners and balloons for my daughters birthday this year.

I don't have much I can cut back on. No TV packages, I never watch TV anyway, I don't drink or smoke, I don't have takeaways or coffees. I haven't had a holiday since 1998 and I've always been cautious with my energy bills and it's usage and only put the heating on when my GD is here. I do go to a over 50's club once a week £2.50 subs +75p for a cuppa, I dont really want to give that up or I'd never leave the house, but I might have to, the only thing left is food and meal skipping, not that I'm moaning. I Could do with losing a few lbs and there's always someone worse off than me, bless em

Steaks for my husband and Starbucks coffee for me.

I have stopped buying both.

Kitchen roll. I always thought I’d made it when I could finally afford to have it in, now it’s become a luxury item again.
