I spend around £35 a time on beers from the corner shop and a takeaway pizza or kabab after I’ve drank them all. (feel pretty horrible the next day) What I’ve started doing is transferring that £35 into my other bank account instead of spenting it on beers, I hate seeing my savings go down in real time., I do this each day I fancy beers so that soon adds up sometimes too £105 a week when on a binge (but the money isn’t really spent like it usually is)
I see my depleted savings account and this makes me feel bad (like all the times I’ve drank and have big regrets) Doing this is having a good on the understanding how much money I really waste on beers and takeaways. End of the month I have a good chuck saved up. I think this is really working this way for me.
Good for you mate. Glad your working towards sobreity . But £35? bloody hell - your not on the spirits are you? lol. Mine is/was 12 quid a day on 8, 9% Polish beers
I can cook but when I used to drink I didnt feel motivated. I’m making a Tuna pasta bake today from scrtach which will last 3 meals. Its very cheap meal but very satisfying. £1.09 for the sauce, £1 for tin of tuna, sweetcorn 0.30p, pasta 70p, cheese £1.50 so 3 meals for £4.50. I do like cooking.
I’m trying to keep my food costs down to £30 a week from Aldi which is more than doable. I have holidays booked for this year so want to save for these.
Nice one fella. Im not going to preach to you about drinking, cos i fall off the wagon every now and again, but yeah cut it down. Tried the 0% beers? Bit pricey - but you feel like you had a drink, and it takes the craving away x
Skol Lager? Thats only 3%? lol . Dont be like me, and have a fatty liver mate. And you said your overweight, your at serious risk of diabetes and gout (which is bloody painful in your toes lol). At the very least take Thiamine and Multivitamins. You dont want korsakoff syndrome. x
