Default Any ideas for cutting household spendings?

Haya!

I realised I spent so much money without any reason, really - I'd like to change that. I've already heard about listing my parking space on the Internet for people to rent it - clever!

Has anyone of you already tried sth like that?

I was also encouraged to try saving on transport costs by using websites like https://clicktrans.com or http://www.shiply.com

Basic budgeting stuff. List your outgoings each month, look at where you could cut back. Look also at where you could increase your incomings.

Always hold your wife's hand in shopping centres. She will find it
romantic whilst it stops her wandering off and spending money:-)

And you'll be telling us next that you have no connection with those
websites.

They (or rather the originals) appear to have bugger all to do with
"household spending" (or even "transport costs" unless you run a small
business).

I was once in Asda when a woman grabbed my hand and said "Come on love,
let's have a look at the clothes aisle"

I walked with her for three aisles before she noticed I was not her
husband. He was stood next to my wife and they were both ****ing
themselves laughing at her mistake.

Better still buy her one those VR headset thingys and she can
wander round the shopping centre without actually leaving home.

Just make sure you sabotage the broadband to stop her shopping
online.

Play endless videos of the poor british snowflakes 'trapped'
in hotels in Irma-devasted st Maarten, BVI and Cuba every time
she mutters the word 'holiday'.
