I spent £10 on phone credit today which should last me about a month. I also got it at Boots and used a bonus points voucher so in effect I got 90p cashback. I bought 12 2nd class stamps for competitions and a frozen packet of yorkshire puddings for tomorrow's roast dinner for 59p.

Oooh Dottyanne, your so lucky!

I spent £600 even before leaving the house this morning, ( paid mint card off- closed account yay!)

Just back from shopping with mom and sis, and spent £20.00 on fruit and veg for week and also a new and oven glove..thought I'd better invest in a good one with all the HM meals I've started to cook!

Have a good night everyone, I'm off to test out my new oven glove! :j

Forcing myself to post today because the old me has been creeping out from behind the sofa.

Spent £38 in Sainsbury's, £35 of which was for a Mother's Day meal tomorrow. Am sure that I could have done a more economical meal: silly spends included c.£3 for fancy French beans, £3 on marzipan for the Simnel cake etc.

Then there was another £3.50 in the catering shop on little tartlet tins for the desserts.

Nearly had a heart attack in the florist's at the cost of flowers: 50% higher than normal. Did try to keep myself a bit under control and bought individual bunches of spring flowers rather than a super-posh bouquet. £15 later (!) I then went into the gift shop and spent a couple of pounds on ribbon as I'm going to turn the flowers into a bouquet myself. Overall it works out cheaper than buying a ready-made bouquet but still............

Not quite sure why I went so mad with the money today. I can just about afford it by juggling my money but Mum really doesn't expect me to spend lots - it really is the thought that counts. Am really going to have to think about why it's important to me to spend money like this so that I can get a grip on my spending.

Spent far too much today

Took kids to the cinema this morning, it was only 1.95 for each of them and then we got in free (so 3x £1.95) but then add on the drinks and popcorn and stuff... Mind you, it was fun!!

Their world book day vouchers were going to expire tomorrow so they picked a book each, all 3 came to £12.97 :eek: . Then spent £10.50 on some food and came home - phew!

Spent £39.34 on the main weekly shop and that included two bottles of beer for OH and he gave me the cash for it so really I have spent £36.64....and considering we budget £50 a week for grocery shopping I am quite chuffed.

Ahhh...hang on...I forgot something. :doh:

I went to the charity shop earlier to donate some stuff. I resisted buying a piggy bank in there...my old hot chocolate jar will do just as good! (I really wanted it though, it was so cute!)

When I had finished in there I wandered into Rainbow next door and got some freedom food (RSPCA backed) cheese which I have been after for ages......then spotted freedom food eggs so got half a dozen of those as well....then got a carton of Soya milk called "Soleil" and is made by Alpro for sale in the EU (same milk = different packaging!) which was 74p as opposed to something like £1.30 a carton of 'proper' Alpro!!)

I only drink soya milk so I thought I may as well get it whislt I was there and save a bit in the long run And finally I saw a 2 litre bottle of an unknown brand fabric conditioner <which smells divine> for 84p! I think the total was £3.70 or something however this cash came out of money I got on Wednesday as cash back & I posted that on here so...I haven't spent it twice sort of thing...does that make sense?

However it has bumped the grocery shop up to £43.04 and we need a few fresh veggie things at the end of the week (say £3?) so...I guess I am actually only about £4 under budget. Sigh. Oh well - better than being over budget I guess :rolleyes:

Staying in tonight....OH is making my favourite meal: chunky vegetable & kidney bean casserole :drool: (He's such a honey!)

I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday night.

Feel like I've had a really expensive day today.

1.49 on Mothers Day card for OH's Mum (she likes ones with a nice verse!)
21.44 at Somerfield on BOGOF's that I would normally buy as part of my main shop (but was a bit naughty including my treat of Cart D'Or Vanilla Icecream) and also Easter Eggs x 6 for the kids (Buy 3 for £5).

Then I went to Morrisons to do my main shop which includes Sunday Lunch for 14 people! Also bought Russell Watsons new CD for Mother in Law - decided flowers are just too expensive this weekend! Spent £91.31 which feels like too much but did include the CD and cream etc that I wouldn't usually buy. Was a bit annoyed that they are doing their Easter Eggs on a 3 for £4 deal so spent £2 more at Somerffield than I needed to. Oh well, win some and lose some!

Was discussing the fact with OH that I hadn't bought a magazine for a whole month (used to buy 2 a week) and at the end of shopping he insisted that I have one to read in the bath later (one of my favourite things to do that is child-free). I saw in the Daily Express a £1 off voucher for OK Magazine so I bought that - this site has so rubbed off on me - always looking for a saving now in this 'Money Saving Game' I'm playing!!!! :rotfl:
