  • Sorry I'm soooooo late, but I'd like to go for 8 NSDs from now until the end of the month!
  • Aiming for 3 NSDs this week. 1 down for today. Whoopeee! Quite gutted that I need to buy petrol tomorrow as few opportunities for NSDs this week...

    Just spotted your siggie Lollypop--hope the job is a keeper :smiley:

    As regards to grocery spends & things, I guess the Grocery Challenge is a big help for me. I was always a 'once a week' kinda shopper but since the offspring have grown, I tend to do several mid-size shops as & when needed;
    with four adults in the house, I'd need an industrial sized fridge & freezer to keep any more than three days milk & veg :rotfl: We've not an awful lot of SIZE=1]shop[/SIZE choice locally, so I usually take me muvva to the next town in either direction which also doesn't help accrue NSDs & to just vary the supermarket we trudge around.
    A good few people find menu plans are a big help; you decide on what meals you can have for the coming week/fortnight etc etc & shop appropriately, although for me the 4 grown-ups makes my planning--well--let's just say it's on my 'find-a-way-to-make-my-to-do-list-work' list :p

    Thanks Big mumma, I do menu plan and meal plan and shop accordingly, just always end up getting more through the weekto top up!!

    Have decided that I will not include grocery shops when counting a NSD, as it is within my grocery budget. So today is therefore another NSD!!! (coz all I brought is bread!! :T)
