Just waiting on grocery delivery. Just read an Activist Post about how to cut costs. Have allready cut down on supps. Don't do collagen supp anymore instead use a sound audio that generates collagen production. Was using it as an ageing therapy but just can't afford the cllagen supp per month. So audio it is so hopefully it works with my hips skin cartilage and bones. Cost of living bites lol @TAB @Historylover @Healandlove @Healandlove @GardensHeart

Hello @lavenderhaze how are you going this morning? People on here complaining about the cost of living. Myself included. I worked out if I cut out meat would save around $2000/year. It looks like I may have to pull my belt in tighter. I slashed $2000 off my bill allready by ringing around and getting better deals. Got rid of my VOIP phone last week which saves me another $360. Its full on austerity measures here in Gecko Land lol!

@TAB I think I got something like $300 off my power bill plan recently. But its contingent upon me using the same levels of power. I just happened to ask and thats what the customer care person told me off Red Energy. Plus with solar its like $100 off my bill per bill. Now that my hot water is solar/electrical will save money off gas. I have to do my spending tracker. Haven't spent anything this month really but yeah sick of it all allready. But looks like meat consumption has to go. Wondering about other ways to half bills lol 🙃
