Here are mine:
I don't buy fresh greens anymore, only frozen
almost no meat
food shopping more at Reduced To Clear
no visiting the op shop or Kmart
trying to always use my energy to mix a drink of oral rehydration salts or salt instead of sometimes grabbing a juice box
no occasional sushi
try to keep coffee to just one instant decaf coffee a day
cut dental hygienist visits down to 1 in the past 2 years (this one's actually bad, I'm hoping to reverse it)
not visit family as often (this one's bad too)
get people to buy me moisturiser from the supermarket for birthday and christmas
I know unless something radically changes things are going to get worse so my future ideas are:
maybe cut out the instant decaf altogether? (This one feels hard for some reason, but that stuff is so expensive)
plain oats instead of oats and pumpkin+sunflower seeds for breakfast
halve my vitamin supplement again
get the energy to gather receipts so I can try to update my disability allowance to today's prices
I don't know what else. Getting a bit scared tbh.
