1. Setup daily, weekly, monthly budgets and make sure you don't go over. If you do, you will need to make sure you cover the loss in the coming days, weeks and months.
2. Don't go into a supermarket to do a shop on an empty stomach.
3. the green site Mantra. "oooh that looks nice...... BUT ......
A.) Do I *REALLY* need it *RIGHT NOW* or can it wait?
B.) Can I afford it?
C.) Will I use it?
D.) Is It worth it?
Yes to All then GO for it. Otherwise, be patient.
4. Use YouTube to learn how to do simple DIY tasks rather calling a plumber to fix a leaky tap or painting or decorating. Or ask your mum and dad hehe
5. Go to different local parks than big Theme Parks for small children. I always hated waiting in the queues in those theme parks. I may still go once in awhile in very large groups of friends circle but not as often as I used to. Also, taking the mick by charging 5£ for parking ontop of the ludricious ticket prices. Obvs only use the Cadburys Share Bag half price tokens / Kellogs or ClubCard where you can. If you must go regularly then there is the loyalty card from Merlin for unlimited visits etc, but it's not for me.
6. Setup push notifications for your credit card spend (if possible). Anytime, me or my partner use our Clubcard Credit Card, I get a notification of how much was spent and where. This is a good reminder anytime anything gets taken out of your account and that it is the EXPECTED amount and also FLAGS up fraudulent activity.....
7 .... in part 2 as I need to go dash out
