Yes, just need to be economical about what you buy.

I can’t do that with both fuel and food expenses. Maybe if I stopped going places to paddle board or hike and ate crap food.

I mostly eat organic food and I purchase directly from local farmers whenever possible. I also eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruit. I don’t purchase takeaways or dine out much and I buy no pre-made, processed food at all. It’s not cheap.

Here’s what I do.

I start with this week’s sales. From that, I make a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack plan for the whole week.

Then I go through and load digital coupons and physical manufactures coupons I get in the mail.

Then I shop!

I could do that, if its just food/drink,

I dont know what you mean once all your expenses are paid? dyou mean just on food or anything else.

I pay about £40 a week on food/drink and that’s just my shopping, i spend about £40 on coffee and eating out for lunch etc as well, clothes and things aint much but i am looking in charity shops as well, i might be getting a cheap tv & eguitar but not sure yet, i also need a new bedframe which i can get from a used furniture store.

I rprobably could, but I like my hobbies and they cost a lot so I wouldn’t be happy on that.

My grocery bill was £35 a week before covid. But I shopped at Aldi then. Now I can’t do the shopping myself, so have to order online. Cost of living has really made a lot of things more expensive

I have some health issues (diverticular disease is one) that were caused by rubbish eating. I don’t want for them to get worse. I also don’t want any new health problems from a poor diet. I consider it a good investment in better health.
