Not purely BC related, but is anyone else in a financial slump caused through having bc?

    We shop at farmers markets for fruit and veg and keep to the ‘outside’ of supermarkets. Better healthy food wise and not tempted to buy treats/unnecessary foods. Stick to free outings or nature outings and specials. Rarely eat out unless a coupon/special. 
    When go out, take own drink bottles and food where possible. 
    Think 3 times before making any purchases.

    It's very hard. Living on punitive government payments can be demoralising and stressful. Particularly when you have no choice. 
    Op shopping can be a nice little retail buzz, visiting several stores then finding a stylishs jacket for $4 can take up a whole day.
    I hate not being able to go out for a meal with my friends or turning up to lunch making excuses about not being hungry and just offering a coffee.

    @Joannie it's a year next week since we went on our Otis holiday, such a wonderful time we had! The price of petrol is very challenging at the moment so I have been limiting my op shop visits :) I also joined simplesavings.com.au years ago when I was a stay at home mum. they have great tips in their free newsletter, and if you join($21 but sometimes they do a $15 deal) you get access to their vault of information.Worth a look.
