Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | - Using public transport - a weekly ticket costs me £14. I wonder how much traveling a total of 136 miles a week, just for the gym, would cost in a car? - If the distance is less than 2 miles, I'll walk - Eat a s**t load of cheap (but not cheap cheap) dairy - Buying in bulk where I can (butchers are a good place to look) - Home grown vegetables - Keeping a limited wardrobe, and making sure that I get full use out of my clothes - Initially buying expensive clothes (mostly when they are on sale), so that the can take the wear and tear of repetitive use (I usually wear hard-wearing hiking or trekking clothes) - Purchasing discounted food. Nothing wrong with food that goes 'off' in a week, that is going cheap! - Not going out - Being fortunate enough to have cheap hobbies! | ||
