What has GLP-1 changed about your spending habits?

For me it shows up in how much I cook and what I buy at the store. I no longer make huge meals meant for leftovers, so my grocery bill dropped and I waste less food that I get tired of. I cut out most expensive snacks and processed items, rarely eat out, and lost interest in nice restaurants. My food budget went from several hundred a week down to seventy five or less. I use the air fryer more instead of the oven for smaller portions. I added protein shakes, bars, and supplements but they do not eat up all the savings. I also stopped buying kitchen gadgets because the food obsession is gone. I tried several other peptides for a while but that phase ended.

Instead of buying a big bottle of basic bourbon I am buying smaller nicer bottles.

I used to spend hundreds a month on a bottle of good liquor for shots at the end of the day without thinking twice. This medication took that craving away completely. My budget is better now because I put those funds toward my peptide stock instead.

I've been cutting back on what I spend for meals along with those hobbies where I gather items like plants and ornaments. These days I'm putting out more cash to update outfits for the job and add to my pep stockpile.

My grocery bills have dropped quite a bit, junk items especially. I almost never have a drink now, and that cuts expenses dramatically! Before long I'll require some different outfits, but I don't mind at all.

I have lost interest in buying all things except peptides. My local charity shop has been the beneficiary of all my treasures.

I've cleaned up and stored my previous outfits after sorting them. Not ready to pass them along yet. These days I'm putting on garments that suited me back when I was lighter before. Those stayed around as well. We're not accumulators and hardly keep anything around otherwise, just the apparel. For all other stuff, once finished using it gets discarded right away. Pursuing my second target now and figure it'll be one to three years until the oversized pieces can be given away. Since I'm no longer working and spend time in hotter areas, my wardrobe stays basic and relaxed. I've already parted with the office wear including collared tops, neckwear and trousers. A couple of formal outfits remain for rare events.

My expenses on unhealthy treats have dropped a lot. The reduction feels surprisingly big. This situation makes me happy even though the nearby shop might be earning less money these days.

Taking this medication altered how I allocate my funds. I became more focused on improving my well-being so I stopped getting quick meals and unhealthy snacks to keep around the house. The quantity I consume has gone down. I switched over to alcohol-free beer and drink far less of it than the regular kind. At first I put a bunch of cash into certain compounds instead of photography equipment or motorcycle add-ons. Now that I have plenty of those substances my urge to buy new gadgets is coming back. I still act immature with my finances and just picked up exhaust parts for the bike plus fresh photo gear. The only real change has been my body mass.

The grocery money did not disappear, it just moved into the fridge lol.

I once visited eateries every seven days. Several months have passed since then. Grocery costs dropped a little, yet the two pets make up half of it. New clothing is something I skip these days. A fine wristwatch might be in my plans before the year closes.

I've pretty much stopped consuming alcohol these days, only indulging maybe weekly at the highest. Previously my intake was much higher. I remain capable of handling something like a large burger, though it leaves me totally full afterwards. Having more than two meals each day feels difficult too. I might need to decrease the amount I'm taking 😂

I do not really care to spend money on anything anymore other than peptides.

My grocery allowance has moved toward these lately. Whenever the big store discounts that nutrition drink, I grab extra. Several cases are now stashed away in the back. I've sampled nearly all the different protein beverages and mixes available. The worst one by a mile has a flavor like it was strained through filthy laundry. Mixing in another supplement powder makes it slightly less awful, so that's how I'll finish the remaining case.

My food spending dropped some and so did the beer. Fresh tops are required since oversized ones hang loose on my body. Medium fits fine these days.

I am feeling you. Came out sideways.

My long-standing tightfisted nature still holds firm in most areas. The sole shift shows up with a strong collective purchase, where laying out a big chunk of cash feels effortless and normal. I have no idea what explains the difference. Yet facing costs for routine supplies, fixing the car, or other home necessities always makes me hesitate and worry. A worthwhile shared deal, though, gets me signing up without a second thought.

These days I seldom dine at restaurants and consume alcohol only occasionally. Meeting up with someone for drinks means just one is plenty for me. That's really great. Some extra cash has gone toward new outfits. Yet the bulk of what I've saved seems to have gone into building up my collection of peptides. Right now I'm attempting to halt further purchases since there's no actual requirement, though spotting a bargain makes it tough to hold back.

All my grocery money goes straight into these peps lately. With so many already requested, that pattern stops now. Those dollars will instead fund construction of a solid masonry barrier. I expect to request another full load of drainage gravel in the next few days to ready the foundation. By May I should have the cash ready to purchase the blocks and begin the work.

I've reduced what I spend on meals, perfumes and lotions since kicking that old habit, so the savings now head straight into my investments 🤭

Junk food purchases have basically ended for me. Peptides are where most of my cash is headed these days. Beyond that, purchases only happen as needed. For example, people here convinced me to get some things haha.

Unsweetened ice tea is fine with me but too much caffeine doesn't work so I mix it half and half with water. Water is pretty much all I drink otherwise. Coke Zero used to be a regular thing but the flavor is something I can't handle anymore.

Not drinking alcohol has let me put away a good chunk over the past year and a half according to the tracking app. Portions are half what they were so leftovers cover lunch for me or someone else and that adds up. A couple new pairs of jeans came out of it though. When we go out to eat now I stick to water and often the rest of the table does too which really lowers the total.

Food spending is way down. It hasn't covered the peptides yet but a break-even point should show up eventually.

Ever since discovering digital currencies my thoughts have gone completely haywire.
