Mr M's have a half price offer on on Finish atm - box of 42 for £5 instead of (they claim) £10

I cannot function without a weekly/monthly budget.
I also would find it strange to buy bread/cakes/yoghurt/jams etc. as I have become so used to making my own.So maybe that's a compulsion.
NSDs are another compulsion,though I am struggling a bit this month.
ETA Packed lunches to work-a definite compulsion!0 -
Making jam and chutney - I've got a problem and I admit it!
(and a cupboard full of the stuff!)0
