Covid-19 lockdown check-in

[mongers]

I know what you mean Mongers, the amount of "stuff" we buy is dramatically reduced.

Yeah it now feels like a real chore to go and buy something.

[celedhring]

Yeah, I'm spending way less on stuff than pre-pandemic. One of the reasons is that my income has shrunk a bit, but also the lack of social/work life is playing a big part. Boardgames? I haven't played a physical boardgame in a year. Clothing? There's a blazer I bought one week before last year's lockdown that I've used just once. On the other hand, I've bought 4 sweatpants since then

Yeah, leisure and travel basically disappearing from my agenda really helped me cut down my expenses for the past year.

On the other hand takeaway meals

On the other hand takeaway meals

Yup. 

[The Larch]

I've made a really strong effort not to get delivery meals too often and keep cooking myself. I don't even have any food delivery app installed in my phone.

We've cooked basically every day (including advanced lunches now) and built up a decent repertoire.

I haven't really bought any clothes in the last year. Now I really need to, everything is falling apart.

Isn't it the rule that after about 28 you just stop buying clothes?

Yes. The particular item do fall apart & you need a new one but you want the samething.

[Sheilbh]

You are all monsters of self-restraint. I've spent lockdown sadly expanding my waistband and wardrobe

Edit: And in new directions in fashion - I bought a bomber jacket over the winter

This is the way.

No, not really. You bought clothes. I bought tvs, monitors, videogames & garden accessories.

Hehe, sounds more fun though.  But I've been pretty restrained, eating habits stayed the same even though working from home near the fridge.    At first I spent very little, didn't even go for coffee or drive my car much.
