Re: Do you spend money on small unnecessary things, which add up?Just last night, Sainsburys was doing an offer on Ben and Jerry's ice cream, £3 each. I spent just under £50. On top of that I've been buying Ben and Jerry's at full price for the last couple of months almost daily.

Re: Do you spend money on small unnecessary things, which add up?Food, things for my cat sometimes too haha.
Oh and when clothes are on sale online I spend money too. I just bought a new dress which I did not need but wanted. (To be fair it was only £5 from House of Fraser, you can't even get that at Primark these days!). -

Re: Do you spend money on small unnecessary things, which add up?yeah...
food such as sushi, blueberries, pasties, more blueberries, coffee
accessories, especially when on sale
magazines, they are a proper money drain
also lots of makeup and skin care products. i have about 2 dozen nail polishes, 4 lipsticks, 8 eyeliners...although i do use them all i still regret spending money
at the time its like ohhh its on sale, it doesnt cost much! or, ohh ill just treat myself to a magazine
but then spending £2-5 every other days really adds up!!

Small bottles of diet coke/pepsi etc. Every time I leave the house I buy at least one and at £1.20-£1.80 each it soon adds up :O -

Re: Do you spend money on small unnecessary things, which add up?The amount I spend on water is a joke considering I can get that **** free. I just drink alot of water and once I run out of a 500ml I usually cant find somewhere to refill it when I'm out. I also cant carry a 2l bottle with me as its not very practical.(Original post by Movember)
