Thread: I have now commenced being thrifty. any tips?

  1. #1

    I have now commenced being thrifty. any tips?

    the following purchases will be eliminated

    Cigarettes, energy drinks/coffees, I will drink the free **** at work,
    bring my own lunch.
    I have purchased my food shopping in bulk.

    If only I can scam away to get to work for free. Cycling is a little bit too far and would involve dangerous routes and initial expense.

    I plan to live as cheap as possible next year. no holidays, no guitars, pay some bills. I need to build up cash for my big year of 2019.

    By not drinking 3 nights a week I'm saving around £60 per week. Added to the £175 saving on cigarettes, that's a total of £12,240 per year.

    Fúcking hell, can that be right?

    Well when I stopped smoking proper a while back I used to buy a packet a day before stopping. I never seemed to be any better off.

    Think of what you could do with that 12k Sir C. You'd be saving so much you can start drinking and smoking again.

    I'm starting to envisage Sir C's evenings these days and it's making me a bit sad.

    True enough; probably more like £700 a month, I reckon. That's another £8,400 a year. I'm rich, rich I tell you!

    That's how I am trying to look at things.
    Instead of if I could make an extra '£20 here' look at it the otherway and reduce £20 from my spending.
