Saving money

They say life is all about sacrifices, and since being here, I've had to make quite a few when it comes to food and clothes especially. But it's definitely taught me a lot about what I actually NEED to get by, and what I want 'just because'. Of course, I haven't been able to resist temptation completely - Amazon is my new favourite store and I've bought more from there in the past nine months that I have from all the online shops I've shopped at in my life. I can't help it, I'm a gamer geek...and I love books, it just works out so well...

So here's what I've discovered, I'd rather spend money on games and books than food and clothes...yep, that's right. Weird, huh? Strangely enough, I can live without buying myself new clothes, even though I'm limited to two pairs of trousers, three tops and three pairs of shoes (no biggie for guys, but the ladies out there will understand). But if a new Square Enix game comes out, I'm there, baby! A book sale at Amazon? I've got bells and whistles on, dammit. And with the exchange rate the way it is, games are sooooooooooooo cheap here, what's a girl to do?

But I haven't been throwing money away, no no no..! I've bought a whole salmon in an effort to, not only boost my seafood intake, but save money as well. A WHOLE SALMON, people!! Now, those of you who know me, know that fish and I aren't the best of friends, so you may be questioning my sanity. But I have pictures as proof! I've also resisted all urges to call for takeaway and walks down to the local chippy.

So what do you think you could/couldn't give up in the name of saving money? Would love to hear from you!
