A Money-Saving Challenge! Day 1

After realising how much I've spent over the last few months, I decided that it was high time I did something!As much as I enjoy buying new stuff, the enjoyment is even bigger when I've earned this right by saving money and THEN buy whatever I want to :)

So, starting today, my goal is to spend less than £200 a month! How am I going to achieve that?e.g. by trying to buy less fancy type of food (agave syrup, spirulina, exotic dried fruit etc..), stop using eBay and Amazon that often!

Day 1:
22/05/2013

• A bottle of water (Lidl) - £0.29
• A bowl (Wilkinson) -  £0.75

Total:  £1.04 

A great beginning! :))
