Felt this year was pretty good actually - I didn't trade in games (unless I hate the game) anymore, and I've managed to complete most of them too. Going to cut down spending on games wise next year though, although I'll have to control my Bluray purchases as well...

Right, now to calculate percentages. If you still haven't finished updating please let me know by simply posting on this thread saying you're not done updating your totals yet.

I can see there are few people who don't update at all, forgot to do it, or not bothering but I included the percentages anyway. I removed members who got perma banned from the list, since there was no point keeping them on list.

Otherwise, I'm glad 2010's over. Good luck Rubix with running 2011 list of Thrifty people

Good work keeping this running for the last year, Seven.

So how does this work? Do we get prizes if we managed to stay within budget?

Good work with last year dude, i'll update this to my OP

Thanks for the thread Seven

I did better but need to try harder to resist so called "bargains"

Never did get round to updating my final figures, kind of lost track

Suficed to say I was way over budget. Probably by as much as £200 - £300.

Great job with the thread Seven

darksideby182 = £350 (Spent £91.49) Balance = £258.51 26.1%

pretty damn happy with that.

You did a great job updating the thread Seven, thanks for putting the work in.

Thanks for nice comments, glad I could help GRcade community out by running 2010 thrifty thread

No, it's just something to help people to keep track of their budget and try to not go over budget (or raise awareness of it). No prizes or such

Crap contest.

Cheers for keeping up with this Seven, shame I blew my budget right at the end.

Seems like you're not off to a good start, either.

I know T_T
