Has anyone else been shocked by them money saving apps that tell you the total you have spent in Shops ever 😳😳

So I have the app called EMMA an it literally tells you how much u have ever spent and I’m mortified!
Nearly 6 grand in morrisons
2 grand in sainsburys
1 grand in tesco
£633 in macdonalds
£700 something in macdonalds
£2k in primark
And the list goes on OMG
please share all your amounts and make me feel better????

I could never get one. I think these things do more bad than good especially mental wellbeing wise. I know someone who has already become so obssessive about it.

Jesus I wouldn’t want to know!

 

[Noseyoldcow]

Didn’t even know such a thing was available?!

 

[Trixabellee9393]

I don’t think I’d even want to know. To be honest though, some of those amounts are supermarkets, we need food and toiletries. One thing I try not to worry about is the cost of my food bill, it’s as low as it can be without us going without essentials and I’m happy with that. I make a lot of sacrifices, but decent meals aren’t one of them!

my McDonald’s one would probably be shocking though, I get fries probably once a week and hash browns about twice!

I don’t really buy clothes, other than when I get gift vouchers or birthday money, so I don’t think I’d be shocked by those.

I think seeing total spend over your lifetime would probably be more damaging than helpful!

Weekly budgeting is much more reasonable thing to do. You'd be shocked even during a week how much groceries etc can cost with the occasional nip to the shop just to get "a few things"

I don’t want to know what we spent in Tesco last year. It’s been a tit year with nowhere to go so we were eating like kings

In some cases ignorance really is bliss. Wouldn’t mind seeing mine from my early 20s when it was all designer bits and London bars!
