How much money do you spend on a night out?

[polo54]

Have had several Friday / Saturday nights in the last few months where I've blown £100-£200 and really regretted it the next day.

Yesterday I started my afternoon at the pub, spent about £20 there on a few pints and moved on to a local bar which is an absolute dump and managed to spend £120 and then another £9 at the kebab shop! Wasn't even a great night as I didn't get any punani so not happy today. Don't really spend any other money during the week, £10 on tobacco and I get free lunch at work so it's not that much of an issue if I do spend at the weekends but I still know it's not right.

Only just got round to reading all the responses on this thread and thought it could do with an update. Went out on Friday night to a bar in London, spent £183.10 on my card without realising and another £100 cash! I checked my online banking and was shocked. New rule is to only leave my house with £100 and leave my card at home - more than enough for a good night out without breaking the bank. Am trying to stick to a budget of £625 (the most I have been advised to withdraw as a monthly salary to avoid paying income tax and minimal NI) and it's proving to be harder than I thought. Including my random impulse spending on foreign food online, have currently gone over budget by £100 and it's only the 22nd, looks like I'll be the next couple of weekends at home.

To all the people who mentioned they spend anwhere up to a grand on a night out, as they say, you can't take your money with you when you go so fair play! Can imagine they must be some pretty wild nights
