Default Holding onto your cash

Not sure what i make of the below website. But, the suggested savings tips are a bit strange to me. Would you consider this as spending wisely or seriously nit picking to the extreme?

I love the idea that they have managed to potty train themselves and limit themselves to one nappy at night only. Genius!

I like the 'buying coke all the time' . At 60 quid a gram it can really add up. Why not limit drug use to a special occasion such as a new baby or job? May be mum could chip in to buy in bulk?
