The Frugality Thread

[tyred]

I now use, or intend to use (if I can break the must buy compulsion) a bar of soap with my shaving brush, instead of Wilkinson Sword shaving soap. One of those costs me about £3 a month. It's not a case of saving money as 3 quid a month is nothing, but a bar of soap does the same thing as shaving soap.🤷‍♂️

What on earth are you doing with it if a bowl of shaving soap only lasts a month? They last me for ages.

I managed to get two loads of washing done before 08:30 when Night Rate leccy finished and pricey Day Rate started.

About six months, shaving four or five times a week I reckon. That Wilkinson Sword stuff is horrible though, I'd probably get fed up and chuck it in the bin after a month anyway.

I've never smoked. Ive had a beard for over 50 years.

But I still don't have any money.
Where did I go wrong?

Were you ever married?

We're you ever married?

Just once, too expensive to change

Well, there's your answer!

Well, there's your answer!

But, she's the skinflint. Don't tell her I said that.
I'm having to justify £17 on eBay for a £90 piece of kit. But it is for my bike.
