SOME MOST COMMON SPENDING<br />

BLOW-OUTS I HAVE NOTICED ARE:<br />

Additional grocery items – I do<br />

understand it’s hard to stick to a list<br />

and not notice all the fabulous glossy<br />

packaging around to buy more from<br />

the shelf! I fall victim to discounted or<br />

on special items and leave the<br />

supermarket with more items than I<br />

should have. But when you add up<br />

additional “incidental” grocery items, it<br />

amounts to expenditure on stuff &<br />

food that you actually don’t need.<br />

However, by sticking to your list, this<br />

habit will have you deviate less and not<br />

spend more than you should.<br />

"I FALL VICTIM<br />

TO DISCOUNTED<br />

OR ON SPECIAL<br />

ITEMS AND<br />

LEAVE THE<br />

SUPERMARKET<br />

WITH MORE<br />

ITEMS THAN I<br />

SHOULD HAVE."<br />

Eating Out – It’s convenient, and easy<br />

to eat out. I get it. But if you looked at<br />

the expenditure especially towards<br />

lunch and takeaways, they can add up<br />

to hundreds of dollars over a month!<br />

It’s always more cost effective to make<br />

your meals at home and bring<br />

leftovers. It can be boring, effort and<br />

not as exciting as buying out, but golly<br />

will it save you a bucket!<br />

Coffees - I’m from Melbourne so it’s a<br />

vice for me. However I limit myself to<br />

a purchased coffee once a day (and<br />

sometimes none as I’m also concerned<br />

about the “war on waste”). If you<br />

have 2-3 daily, chances are you would<br />

have spent hundreds on coffees this<br />

year already! Let’s do a simple<br />

calculation, let’s say a coffee is $4, you<br />

buy that twice a day for 7 days a week<br />

= 4 x 2 x 7 = $56 a week, over a year<br />

that’s $2912. And that’s just for one<br />

of you.<br />
