 I buy lunch (£2.99) at Boots pretty much every day cos its easy and I don't really have to think about it. Had a little look at the Demotivator though DEMOTIVATE ME! And discovered that I'm spending over £1000 every year on it! And work 4.8 weeks to pay for it! Eeeeek! Talk about a boot up the bum to start making my own sandwiches and take them into work!!!! So what little things do you girls spend money on without really thinking about it?

My Dog! She eats far better than me... I'll be on the sofa with a fishfinger sandwich while she's tucking into liver, chicken, steak or sometimes even her own poussin (reduced at the supermarket I hasten to add!)

 mmm....bikes, meals out, beer are my weaknesses I think. But saving all my money would be boring. I remember calculating that when I was drinking a diet coke every day that was xxx a year (125 quid according to the demotivator), but then I figured I liked it so I couldn't be bothered to give it up.

 Shoes (specially converses to match my t-shirts) And clothes that don't fit me because I am way too scorny 
|
|

Like size S being too too big for me

|
Maybe you should stock up on pies?
|
|
 and drink more beer
|
|
I don't drink alcohol (this is the true truth) so beer is a no no  oh well never manage to grow any muscle either so I am going to go for the "genetic excuse "
|
|
but back to topic I spend way too much in coffee, tea and real chocolate
|
|
 coca-cola.... i worked out that i spend over 800 euros a year on the stuff... groan.. my poor student finances
|
|

 diet coke - we both go through gallons of the stuff each week so have switched to Tesco's own brand to save money - I get panicky if there's none in the fridge - have tried switching to cordial and water but just not the same also magazines - probably buy most 'house' mags each month, as well as photography and the bike mags - probably £40-£50 per month (low estimate  ). I decided to subscribe to just 2-3 but now have the subscriptions and I still buy them off the shelf, even buying the same one twice in erro............and we really have no money for such frippery (I sound like me mum!) However I have probably spent less than £100 on make up in my whole adult life so not bad going for a gal!
