I’ve had to stop buying tofu, it’s too expensive. I also used to buy myself a cake from the local fancy bakery once or twice a month but had to jib that

    Oh there are a lot of small things I had to give up because of rising costs of living. TBHany have been a positive change.

    1. Eating meat (yes, really)
    2. Impulse buying of all sorts

    The whole situation has made me more intentional with my money, and I like that.

      Giving up meat is a massive change! How have you found it? I’ve been veggie for ten years, mainly because of health, environment and cos I like animals.

        I have always liked to eat fish more than meat.

        After emigrating to Germany I have noticed that meat is really expensive here. Still I bought a piece of meat.

        Once I bit into it I was so disgusted by the taste that in that moment I decided not to eat meat anymore.

        For me personally it was a great change, amd I’m really loving the lifestyle. I have lost weight and I feel better.

        I’m also aware that it might not feel the same for everyone given that I wasn’t much of a meat fan from the start.

          Yes I get that. I’ve never liked fish much, so apart from the odd idle thought of tuns I don’t miss it. I loved meat though… steak, ham, lamb chops, roast chicken, all of it. Once I’d made the decision though it really wasn’t hard… I wanted the health benefits and ethical side more than I wanted meat.
