For the record, I gave up on the points scoring in the last post - even I found it was too complicated. Also for the record I had to stop using homemade deodorant as it made my armpits itchy. Shame really as it worked and was cheap.
Most days my food costs less than £1.
I haven't drunk coffee for months - only herb teas, most of which have been free. Alcohol hasn't passed my lips for several years - don't miss it at all.
My latest wheeze is following a WW2 rationing diet which means I can't eat the chocolate, biscuits and cakes, crisps etc that I would often nibble on, usually late evening. Its Day 6 and I'm already losing weight. If I can drop a few more pounds I'll be able to wear some clothes that I haven't be able to wear for a year or two - so I won't need to buy any clothes to fit. Haven't bought any since I started this thread (Jan 2022).
Wartime slogan that is still valid - “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”.
