Nothing exciting I'm afraid. Loads more on heating because DH constantly feels cold, has the central heating on all day and sometimes overnight. We have also, since DH retired, lost our regular supply of wood offcuts for burning and after a couple of spectacular slides downhill, I have decided to give up regular foraging for wood. DH can no longer saw it up anyway and it takes me longer to saw a log than it takes to burn it. So if we want to use the open fire we need to buy logs.
Also now have to pay for most household maintenance/repairs that we used to do ourselves, even to have the windows cleaned and hedge cut, though still managing to grow our own fruit and veg, which saves a bit on the food shopping. As to bargains and my favourite Thrift Shops I used to spend my lunch hours browsing but now it is a rare treat as it means a special trip into town.
