I don’t get why people have home phones anymore.

Most mobile plans are great and most unlimited minutes or close to it. I mean my actual non work calls are less than half hour a month I reckon.

And I use wifi assist as my phone signal isn’t great

I overspend on food when I'm out. Coffee, cakes, lunches etc.

€65 euro already this month. I'll easily get to €150 by the end of it.

Also we pay family rent which is a good chunk of our money. And pretty much every bill (phone, TV etc) we overspend on. But that can't be helped so I can't feel too guilty about it.

Lucozade, that I shouldn't be drinking.

I was spending on average £35;a week on it.

I've cut down but tea with lactose free milk would be much cheaper.

I spend £0 on television watching as I use my son's Netflix, my daughter's Disney + and free YouTube.

I suppose that makes the Lucozade money not such a bad hit.

Internet but I have a 1gb connection completely useless to be honest wouldn’t go over a 500mb connection next time

As I haven’t found a place that utilise my full bandwidth

Most place I noticed cap out at the 600-700 mark

Could have saved myself money

I had Kodi for a few years but prefer IPTV and how it runs. Both work fine though.

Top tip coming folks

I pay for Netflix sky Disney Amazon etc….

I phoned up to cancel sky 3days ago so instead of cutting me off they let me have it for half price !

There was a bit of haggling in there tbf I told 3 times I’m not interested and I wanted to cancel

But the half price deal is unlimited!! As in they won’t be putting it up in 12months

Honestly it’s so worth phoning these services right now as they will slash there prices just to keep the customers

Omg that lot of Lucozade and a lot of sugar in it unless you can get it sugar free now? I remember my dear mom getting us to help to make me feel better when I was I'll

Never tried lactose milk atm as I used semi skimmed in my tea & whole milk over my cereal

Thank the lord for landlines, I have elderly friends and neighbours that own mobile phones but never damn well have them in ear shot if you ring them

Petrol but that's my choice for driving ridiculously thirsty cars.

And food, I could feed myself for less than half what I spend but I like nice food.

Agree, my mate was paying sky £120 a month for what I get from Now TV for less than £30 a month. I was shocked, shes changed now.
