Re: Does money burn a hole in your pocket?
I've always been really good with money (some may say tight ) so no, I only buy what I need and very, VERY occasionally what I want.Re: Does money burn a hole in your pocket?
I’m also now following advice from my brother and SiL, in which they draw out weekly money and put bits in envelopes for different things. I do my own weekly budget list and set aside cash for spends like food, electricity, petrol, miscellaneous (Wilko, Ikea etc), Pets at Home, dog grooming, dog day care, my weekly newspapers, and if I need to use the launderette dryers, and weekly dog class. Each Saturday I draw out that budget from the P.O., request certain notes and £1 coins, put the money aside...and try and stick to that budget.Re: Does money burn a hole in your pocket?
I did go off budget last week when buying the box set of The Detectives in Sainsbury’s for £20, a bargain as it was all 31 episodes. So yes, I can do it occasionally, and oh flip....I’ve just realised...I could have used my Nectar rewards to get the DVDs. Argh!!!!Re: Does money burn a hole in your pocket?
Money is very tight in our House, as we only have 1 State Pension coming in for the two of us and that only started last year, so after we paid big bills, there is not a lot left, so we have to be careful, we still have a bit of savings, so if we do want to buy something we will.Re: Does money burn a hole in your pocket?

I'm lucky that I don't really have to worry about money.... having said that I'm not frivolous with it I do shop around for the best price on things.
