So £7.50 a month. Always wear make up but not much and def not expensive stuff so say another £7.50 a month on make up. Have never had a manicure or pedicure and have only had a facial once . It was shit, i looked no different whatsoever. Always get perfume for birthdays or xmas so spend nothing on that. Biggest cosmetic expense is face cream. Spend about £50 a month between the 2 face creams i use. Clothes , some months i spend nothing then the next month i go mental . Probably £100-£150 a month averaged . Going out money probably £200 -£ 250 a month, maybe more. But that will include my contribution towards a meal out once or twice a month . These are all my estimates. The truth of course is probably a lot more. If any of your wives or girlfriends do spend a lot more dont be dragging me into it.

Men don't spend their money frivolously? it all goes to the essentials - house, food, kids, football, cars, booze, godawful replica football tops - every penny is a prisoner and nothing wasted on self indulgence.

Equivalent of 200 beers or what Edited June 18, 2016 by euan2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Feck me £300 a week. We bulk buy from the cash and carry things like toilet roll, diluting juice, washing powder, etc. That stuff can last months. On food a week, we plan our meals Monday to Friday and pre prep lunches for 3 days for work. Breakfast - porridge Lunch - chicken/pork with brown rice and veg or soup Tea - meat with sweet potato and veg or similar. We can go and get a weekly shop for £50/60 Eat well, and healthier these days and have found that extra money can get us an additional holiday on top of what we have. We usually have a take away at the weekend albeit or do have a meal out, but we'll have a Groupon or use 5pm for a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Jesus wept. Some of the numbers on here are mental!! Blended family of 8 and we spend approx. £4-500 a month. A decent freezer shop at the start (£200) and an Aldi shop (£50-75) every week. And we still throw too much away. There is a pineapple in the bin today. Who buys a pineapple?!
