I did it last time I quit and I'm doing it this time.
Every day I put the money I would have spent on fags into my cash not ash jar (I actually use one of my old ashtrays!) I can then see how much money I'm saving. I have found a gorgeous pair of shoes I want that are £90 and I'm going to treat myself once I've saved enough
It really helps you to continue if you can see how much you spent on the damn fags and especially so if you have something in mind to save for!

On a similar tack Io look at stuff in shops then convert the price into pkts of cigs. As a packet costs aprox.£5.oo I then divide the price tag up accordingly e.g. I bought myself a new pair of ankle boots last weekend . They cost 8pkts of cigs =£40.00 (8x5). My boots are leather and will last for months if not years . 8packs of cigs would only last me just over a week. Which option - HMMMM:rolleyes:
Kazza thats a great idea! Buying anything is better than buying ciggies. We bought the ciggies and it's the same thing as burning our money! :mad: Don't wanna burn my money!!
