11.95 spent on whoopsies tonight in tesco, house and freezer and shed is brimbing but couldn't help myself, stuff reduced from between 3.50 and £1 down to between 35 p and 6p each. so now have 8 packs of bread, 8 packs of pigs in blankets, 10 packs of mini sausages, 4 packs chestnut stuffing, some roast beef slices, roast spiced ham slices, 4 packs stuffing balls, tray of poached salmon, plus the crisps and tortilla chips and dips for tonight, now need to see how i can condense the freezer contents further to fit it all in!


My plan for keeping my spending down over the next few days, have a picnic packed in the boot of the car to nibble from as needed (between visits to friends) so i'm not tempted to stop at the garage for snacks/sandwiches,
to meal plan for sunday (3 guests) and beyond with what i have, and not to go into a shop again for a very very long time until i have planned a purchase (and have a list). I tend to shop once or twice every day as a social link so this will be hard for me...

On monday when normal life resumes and dd is at school i will write a proper meal plan..

Happy new year everyone!

Can I be put down for £1080 for my 2010 annual budget please?

I'm reducing it from £1320 to £1080 this year! A £240 cut! :eek: Considering I blew my 2009 budget by ~£15 this should be interesting! :rolleyes: :eek: Wish me luck! :rotfl:

Lost track of December what was food and what was other, but spent far to much in general.

So can you put me down for 200 quid for January, hope everyone has a good New Years Eve and a happy 2010.
