I'm single.
My cost of living is low.
Get your utility bills down the same way the Canadians do.
It's not magic, insulate everything.
Don't sit in a shirt in the house, get a jacket on.
Try walking from your cab to the services in thick snow, you'll soon have to get used to a few layers.
Water, I don't use any at home, mainly at I'm on the road a lot, but I always shower at the services or gym whenever I can.
Food, I always buy off the reduced shelf.
No junk. (Well, not a lot anyway, but the odd pastie and pie goes in the trolley)
Everything freezes.
Even sandwich spread, and salsa dip.
Get down there on closing time on Sunday.
Then I just look at what Ive got to put together a meal.
Nothing goes in the bin.
Leftovers get frozen for another day.
And I can be away for a week or more, it's all waiting in the freezer when I get back.
Even stuff out of the fridge goes in the freezer if I'll be away.
I've frozen boiled ham, pate, even fruit rather than let it go off and bin it.
I don't even peal spuds and carrots anymore.
