Another episode of that stupid "saving show", featured a woman who was going on a date. First she went to a department store, got a free make-up (from poorly paid young women hoping to sell her some products), and some free hair products.
Then she got home, poured a cheapo white wine into a Moet-Chandon bottle and added fizz from a soda streamer (actually worth a try, not sure my friends would notice!), which she then offered the date.
They took a taxi to the city (100 francs), and since she had pre-ordered the taxi, he felt compelled to pay. They had dinner, and she looked at him with bambi eyes, and he paid again. How the f... is that saving? It's just letting somebody else pay. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't come back for a second date.
Nah, saving for me is not buying. If I don't need it, I don't buy. It doesn't mean I'm cheap with the stuff I actually need, but you won't see any fluff at my place. Well, except for the odd cat-tree now and then :).
