    Another NSD - my third! :jLike webitha I'm not counting bills or food. I did last month, but sometimes the supermarket had sold out of what was on my meal plan and I had to go back the next day and get it, ruining a planned NSD.

    So I've decided to do a meal plan every Friday, and when I buy food from the plan (within grocery budget) I don't count it as unnecessary spending. If I buy random chocolate bars, coffees etc. when I'm out and about, then it's no longer an NSD though!

    Have a nice weekend everyone!

    NSD today :) And as the weather forecast is looking so bleak for the weekend I'm sure there'll be at least one more before Monday. x

    Not counting bills or DD's here either - wouldn't be able to hit 1 a month let alone 10 if I did :eek: ! lol

    SnowWhite - I've been meal planning for a good few weeks now and I find it saves me no end of money ! Everything is here ready for the meals and it's not often I have to pop out to get something. My last 'shop' was for 3 weeks worth so I might be able to get a month's worth of shopping once i've 'practised' a bit more :D .

    one more for me today :jwas at work all day and stayed away from the vending machines which isnt that hard so I dont think i'm doing that well really and I feel like I'm cheating because these first 5 days have been so easy!
    Need petrol tomorrow though so that's going to be a bit tricky to avoid!:cool:

    Morning everyone.

    I went food shopping yesterday so still only on 2 but my funds are seriously low so going to try and have a spend free weekend which should be easy as have plans where i don't need to spend money.

    Tesco coming Monday night though so that won't be a NSD but then all next week should be...well it has to be i have no money left! :o

    Morning everyone,

    Never had an NSD yesterday got slightly tempted in primark:o . Oh well we're all stocked up on winter clothes now n i couldn't of got em any cheaper.
    Today will most definately be an NSD. Theres no way i'm going out in this weather just for milk. Unfortunalely i will have to go out tomoro to get milk as i'll need to get some full fat in for my little one. Think i'll get extra milk to freeze then i should be able to have a full no spend week which would be brill.
