Saving money

I eat breakfast and lunch in our works canteen every day, and I've just worked out that I'm saving £4 every day that I don't eat. So far I've saved £24

For others I'm guessing this is a good way of finding the money to get that whole new wardrobe you'll all need. Me, I've got a whole wardrobe full of clothes I can't get in, so I'm thinking about what else I can spend my money on

Loving this WOL

Me too!
I donate the money

Save up for a vacation!

I'm saving myself £5 a week SW class fee, and the cost of the magazine which I always used to buy.

Some people are planning to reward themselves when they reach a certain weight or similar target with eg accessories or perhaps a beauty treatment or maybe put it away for a theatre ticket or a weekend away. There are lots of other non-food ways for you to spend the money you are saving on canteen meals

I am saving £13 a week from not going SW and from walking to walk instead of hopping on the bus! Also saving on food on two fast days so prob about £20 a week that's £80 a month that's £960 a year!!

Yes I like this side effect to!!

Way to go Claire23 - £960 a year is a fantastic saving. I was going to rejoin SW when I decided to try 5:2 - I'm so glad I didn't rejoin SW, as I'm really enjoying this new WOL

I've decided I'm going to spend my first months saving on a haircut - I've been putting it off as money is a bit tight as hubby has recently set up his own business and things are a bit slow at the minute.

You just know that there will be a 'fight back' campaign launched soon from WW and SW as their profits take a hit thanks to 5:2 which is FREE! The big boys will not like this but tough, we all love it and it is FREE!
