    It's interesting to see what a difference using cash rather than card makes. Really enjoyed watching this.

    Loved the series ladies. I always put things in the basket and go back a week later. Never buy the stuff. Just goes to show. You make a good team and it shows you are really good friends. Have a great week (but don't over spend)!!! xx

      @@jilliancameron4811 I do this too. ( On clothing hauls, though I've never shopped at Temu or Shein) I go back, after a week, and find that I always reduce the shopping cart, so buy less. And I buy only what I really love, that way. Zara drives me mad, as their Online Site doesn't allow customers to do this. As soon as we close the app. the cart empties. Their loss....I end up not buying from them

    Carla, during your Low-Spend June, I became hyper conscious of what I was spending outside of rent, groceries and utilities. Listening in on your weekly reports with Tammy was very helpful to me. We shall see how well - or not! - I do budgeting for July now. As for menu planning, no thank you. I live alone and enjoy putting something together to eat on the spur of the moment. I buy groceries once a week, so I know what I have in the fridge and on my shelves. Anyway, yes! Thanks for a good month chock full of learning for all of us. Happy July, good lady!

  • @tinawhynot8893
    @tinawhynot8893 Місяць тому +1

    Really great series Carla and Tammy - I consider it a success as it’s made you more mindful of the mindless shopping online. Great idea to add to basket and come back to it later - time to think do I really need that! Well done to you both 👏👏👏

  • @jacqueline8559
    @jacqueline8559 Місяць тому +28

    Neither of you should have to defend how much you spend ,each month. You WORK for YOUR money. You can do whatever you want with that money. People should just mind their own business. Ignore them. If they're not happy, let THEM go out and work at 3 jobs ! Great series

    • @MsSuziek3

  • @pamelaatkinsonscats2873
    @pamelaatkinsonscats2873 Місяць тому +2

    This was an eye-opener. I always use my card for buying stuff and I’m sure I spend more and forget what I’ve bought. Like both of you, I don’t buy anything full price, but even so things do add up. Then again I want to enjoy my life so I’m not going to do without all the pleasures in life.

    well done Ladies, I take £250 out of my bank each month as my "spending|" money after all bills are paid. Once it's gone it's gone, if (and that's a big if) there is anything left then I shove it in a tin and save until tin is full before putting it towards a wee treat. My daughter and granddaughter live with us so I don't go shopping with daughter as she always costs me a small fortune 😂😂

  • @emilybemily4397
    @emilybemily4397 Місяць тому +2

    This has been a great series. I think I'm going to take onboard the idea of spending cash rather than tapping the plastic. It's annoying, though, that the country is moving inexorably towards a cashless society. I've always meal planned the week ahead. It's a boring chore that pays off in time and finances. Have a lovely week. :)

    You have wayyyy more than 3 months to eat meat in the freezer. I even asked the butcher once, and he said as long as it's frozen, it's safe. It just may lose nutritional value. Obviously, like you said, it may affect flavour. I had 2 or 3 yr old salmon that tasted lovely. 1 yr old turkey tastes fine. Honest, if you read google, most have figured out you can go way past expiry dates.
    I live 10 minutes from the US, and I totally spend far more freely there. With exchange though, I need to be more careful.
    Did you save your down-payment for the next cruise?
