Sit down and look at your accounts in detail once every three months.
Try to buy things on card rather than cash (which helps when you're checking statements)
Slow cooking and freezing things is good.

the general rule of thumb here
Is that the percentage you pay in to your pension should be half your age. And Winders, if your employer contributes to yours and your IFA advised you to opt out then that is bad advice.
Nakers- don't forget to factor in tax relief to your calculations, and bear in mind that lifestyling means that investment growth in the last five to ten years of your pension will be lower than expected growth prior to that.

Oh, absolutely.
I'm not suggesting it's wrong, just that if you're going to play the "I never bought anything on credit because I want to save up and be able to afford it outright" card, why are houses excluded?
Might as well say "I'd never buy anything on credit except my house, my car, my telly and a sofa I liked but I didn't have £2K kicking around at the time" ... I fail to really see the distinction.

I don't make the rules - when measuring debt levels, mortgages and student loans are not usually included.
However, when we bought our house we borrowed less than it was worth at a rate we could afford to pay back.
Since then the value of the house has increased, as has our income, while the interest rates have vastly diminished.

absolutely, I'm interested in why those who do make these rules exclude houses.
I'm not having a go at you, I just really don't see the distinction. Yes, house values can increase, but they aren't guaranteed to. And all the "not counting" as debt in the world won't stop the bank taking it off you and raping your credit rating back to the stone age if you stop paying, so it's no different in reality to any other debt even if people want to pretend otherwise.

I guess it's because everyone has to pay for their accomodation one way or another.
My own experience of 'owning' a house is that it costs considerably less than renting one.
If I was renting right now I'd be paying two to three times more each month for something shitter.

I know, but I think you're missing the point.
Of course it makes financial sense, but it's still a debt, in the same way a credit card or a loan is a debt.
I'm not arguing against buying a house. I'm wondering why it is that some people cheerfully fail to see that as having a debt.

Cook in bulk, then freeze in portions
If possible, freeze it in bags rather than pots, take up less room, and whilst not reusable, much cheaper.

You know what, this is going to sound quite pretentious but I don't care.
I only really enjoy it if I'm in France eating it with French bread.
Before you could get Nutella in this country I used to eat it by the lorryload whenever we went on holiday.
I often would want to bring a jar home, but it was never the same once I got it back - it doesn't have the same gooey runnyness that it has in a warmer climate and ends up tearing English bread to bits.

also, given crumpets are mostly made of butter
even then it's probably not lower fat...

yes that is the point
nobody cooks or orders a pizza and then stops at a crumpet sized portion. this way you get to think you've eaten a pizza but actually you haven't.

I had crumpets for breakfast today, fact fans.
Mostly because they needed to be eaten before they went stale.
Which raises a question: how come when bread goes stale, it gets hard, but when crumpets go stale, they get sticky? And no, I don't think anybody is spunking on my crumpets. Not now I'm married, anyway.

crumpets do go hard when they go stale.
So therefore, I'm afraid someone is spunking on your crumpets.
I'm not owning up, you've got no proof.
