The Early Financials Are In

That’s a very good question, Tim.

I’ve just gone back through my order history and I’ve bought 16 bags so far. My order history also revealed my spreadsheet record isn’t as good as I thought! My Huel spend is ACTUALLY £328.70 and not, as previously stated, £176.

Of those 16 bags, I know the last regular order of 4 bags is still sitting in my shed at home as I’m away in Majorca currently. In addition, I have a partial bag at home, plus three partial ones in Nottingham, plus one in London. It’s hard to estimate what’s left in these, without actually looking, but I’m going to guess that those five partial bags add up to four bags in total.

Therefore, of my purchased 16, I’ve actually only consumed 8 which, at the subscription rates, comes in at £154.80. Therefore my Huel consumption over June and July was right about £77.40 a month. Which, when set off against my saving of £101 a month at the Co-Op, delivers a pretty clear saving of £23.60 a month. Or £283.20 a year.

Which is enough, at todays prices, to invest in a gold sovereign (£240) with enough left over for a decent meal out and a couple of beers.

Oh, and I just discovered from Julian’s article in this thread that UK households chuck out around £200 a year in wasted food. I reckon that takes me safely over the £400-a-year saving mark, even if I do still throw out the occasional floppy cucumber…
