Individuals who smoke a pack of cigarettes daily could save €575.36 per month – or €6,700 annually – by quitting, according to the CSO.
People planning to abstain from alcohol during January can achieve savings of around €95 if they typically consume four pints a week at a pub, reports Breaking News.
Switching dining habits may also result in savings, since the expense of eating out has risen nearly 25 per cent over the five years from November 2020 to 2025. Takeaways have gone up slightly more, increasing by 30 per cent, so a takeaway that cost €25 five years ago now exceeds €32.
Considerable savings are possible by cutting back on caffeine, as the price of one daily takeaway coffee has increased by 7 per cent in the year leading up to November 2025, reports Breaking News.
