    Today I bought Panadol Extra for 99p (but I had a 100 points coupon from Boots so they gave back more than I spent),
    Bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice for 99p (woke up with slight cold symptoms hence the Panadol extra and I've only just got over the flu so I dont want another bout of illness),
    Roll of xmas wrapping paper for £1,
    Stamps for competitions 90p.

  • yesterday I spent,

    £141.00 in a clothes shop on new clothes because I have been dieting and have lost 1stone 9pounds.

    £16.50 in Boots on presents for people I had forgotten I had to buy presents for and while I was in there found some skin care I use on BOGOF.

    £11.19 in Aldi, I went in for ham and got carried away. First visit I could not believe the value of the stuff in there.

    90p on the car park for clothes shopping.

    But I did not have coffee and a cake or anything like that I waited until I got home which helps both the finances and the diet, because Costa or M&S are my favorites.
