    How much have you SAVED??

    How much has snus saved you on money? There was a how much have spent thread but i have saved a fortune! 10-11 cigars a week at $6 - $8 a cigar a week? Snus is saving me quite a bit of money! A can every couple days for $4 - $5 a can? Awesome!

    didn't save me anything ... snus is in fact 2 times more expensive (I will have to cut down on it soon)

    a pack of cigarettes is roughly $5 whilst a can of snus is $9 - $10 ...

    not to mention I've been snusin' and smoking for a while.

    Does anyone from Sweden come to Romania ? I would like to order 1000 cans and out them in your back side of the car, hide them well somewhere looooooooool

      Hard to say. When I smoked, I spent $15 per week. At that time I spent about $8 per week on snus. All the numbers have changed now, and I don't know what they are. I imagine snus is still cheaper.

        I would have spent aprox. $620.00 0n cigs since Nov-2010
        I have spent minus 240.00 on Snus since Nov-2010
        I saved 280.00 by buying snus and I still have enough snus to last until July 2011.
        So in july I will have spent 1070.00
        Giving me a savings of 830.00
        Minus at least a 250.00 order in June to keep me snussing until Nov or Dec- 2011
        1580.00 savings in 2011

        This is not exact even if prices remain the same, but is close enough for government work.

          Since I stopped smoking I would have spent over 6,000 dollars at the amount I was smoking per day.

          I have spent a little over 2000 dollars on snus and snuff since I switched. And if you count what I used vs inventory....

          BOOM! WINNING! duh...

              I was spending $12 at least a day smoking so i save a bit... but it also saves hassle, time, and lung power! I could save loads using nasal snuff as it's very cheap but snus feels right so i don't mind paying the extra.

                Hey glad to know I'm not the only guy who didn't like the price for those cigars. I used to smoke Fuente, Padron, Room 101, the whole deal, and believe me they were GOLD but the price left me pretty disgusted. Snus is be FAR the cheapest tobacco I'v ever had, and it has got to be the best all around in my opinion for Quality, Taste, and bang for your buck thats for sure.

                And precious007, what cans are YOU using? My snus is only like 3-4 dollars a can O.O

                  whenI quit smoking I already cut back to like 5 packs a week. At $4 a pack your talking $20 a week x 52 is $1040. and my snus habit is roughly $250 a year so over the last 2 years about $1600 bucks, not bad not bad at all.

                    A carton of smokes here is about $80 for the cheaper brand that I used to smoke, and I was spending about $260 per month on smokes. Snus averages out to about $70 per month (a little higher or lower depending on how many slip through at the border). Yet another reason to love snus!

                      I remember the days of gathering my last coins at 1 in the morning and heading to the gas station on a freezing night just so I would have something to smoke first thing in the morning.

                      I believe that's pretty close to being addicted to a drug as you ever could get.

                        - that's nothing ... I used to spend all my pocket money in general school, high school and university on cigarettes .... my highest was when I smoked 2 packs a day during the high school...
                        - used to eat nothing all day just to afford the transportation and cigarettes (roughly $10 per day)
                        - sometimes walked back home 4 long km because I spent the transportation money on beer or wine during classes, loooool
                        - i was never the type of smoker that bought 10 packs at once, but definitely went either late in the night to buy fags or very early in the morning right affter jumping out of my bed
                        - and worst of all I smoked an apartment worth in 14 years

                        ****ing cigs

                          With snus expenditure already subtracted from a cigarette habit expenditure = £4,000.

                          I've definately saved my health.

                            Let's see... Started snusing a year ago... At that point I was at about a pack per day, which for Camels costs roughly $5 in MN. 365 x $5 = $1825. I haven't kept track, but I would expect that I have spent between $450 and $500 for snus... Drumroll please? A savings of $1325. What did I do with that money? Invest it in alcohol and pipes/pipe tobacco. Even so, I'm still ahead and I won't develop emphysema, COPD, lung cancer, etc. I like this game...

                              Smoking cost: 1 pack a day, ~$5.50 a pack, ~$2000 a year. (Smoking my usual brand, Camel Menthol.)

                              Snus cost: 1 roll a month, $45 per roll, ~$540 a year. (Buying ONYX, factoring in shipping costs.)
                              -- 1 roll a month, $40 per roll, ~$480 a year. (Buying General Long Sterk, my current usual brand, factoring in shipping costs.)

                              $2000 - $480 = $1520 + 2 lungs + 1 heart saved per year.

                              I won't even get into the costs of the "other smokable items" that I also quit in conjunction with cigarettes.

                              HAHA that's more or less what I do with it too :-P Unless it's the beginning of a semester, then I buy books. :-(
