This can be because of cost, realising you'll never use it/it's a bad habit/missus said 'No!' etc.

As per the Mars bar thread, I've quit the vending machine in work, which should be good for me in general

I'm also about to quit the two comics I still read* each month, since those are now £3 each for reprints of stories that are about a year old at least

So, what have you stopped purchasing?

* Batman and Superman. Gave up on the Marvel ones when they hit £2.60 a throw and there's loads of those

Water ,we are using a filter now plus it's raining so much we don't need it .

I used to buy at least one bottle of coke a day. Now I maybe get one a week.

I try not to buy anything too fatty now because I'm trying to shape up a bit for a holiday.

As for the holiday, I bought the flights this month so I haven't really been able to buy anything since then

I've cancelled a few magazine subscriptions, purely to save a bit of money.

Sweets, crisps, toothpaste.....

I'm thinking of taking one out with Private Eye , already got one with Empire but it was really cheap, and won't take another one out unless it's a really good deal



I'm trying to cut down on the first two myself, but what's the deal with the third?

Petrol. What with being a student, petrol prices and the very suspect fuel leak in my carburettor, I just can't afford to fund my car's ridiculous binge-drinking habits.
