£52.50 yesterday at Aldi. Bought a huge butternut squash and some sweet potato that I will make some soup from.

£1.00 at the poundshop today for two tins of spaghetti and beans.

£4.21 at B&M.

So together £57.21 taking my total for the month to £217.21/£350 but I've now room for anymore food either in fridge, freezer or cupboards.

I'm also going to be making some mango jam which will last through into at least next month.

Will update signature now.

Another NSD here due to having to wait in for a parcel delivery. It arrived at 2.30pm which didn't leave me enough time to go to MrT. Will go tomorrow as we are completely out of fruit, and only have onions on the veg front!

£49.76 going on the total after food shopping at Mr T. I'm hoping this lot will last for 10 days or so...I bought lots of veggies to make soup, the last batch turned out yummy so I'm hoping to make enough to be able to freeze lots.

Cupboard, fridge and freezer now looking nice and packed

Have a lovely evening everyone, stay warm! x

Evening all!

Snow hasn't meant NSDs here - DH has walked to the shops most days to get little bits and pieces. However, we should still be ok this month - fridge/ freezer and cupboards are well stocked - I have spent so much because I have stocked up on proper bargains (ie ones we actually use even at full price! ) We have loads of f&v, a couple of loaves in the freezer and enough mmilk for a few days. Come the weekend I will need more bread, milk, onions (I only have 1 - unheard of!!) and Quavers (DSs addiction for weekends) and ham for packed lunches. Other than that - we'll see....;)

Oh - and DH has a job offer today (an hour after the interview:D) - starting mid Feb - yeay!

Any ideas on how to use up some iceberg lettuce apart from a salad? Also cucumbers too?

KITTY_2-2

A small spend today on milk and potatoes so £6.05 added to totals.

Managed to resist the temptation of the reduced bakery goods on the way past, though I was severely tested

Hope the ice isn't causing you all too many problems.
