Right, very quick update as I need to get ready for work (Boo!)

1. £7ish should be coming from Quidco this week
2. Two of my five Ebay items sold yesterday for the minimum amount, should be about £20 after fees though
3. Mealplan done (see above) Thanks Beanie for giving me the push to do it
4. Morrisons after work, planning on sticking to the list unless they have a good offer on something we will actually use!

According to a thread on here, these are the next lot of Super Veg at Aldi this week...

Punnet Kiwi fruit 39p
Bagged pears 59p
Leeks 39p
Carrots( the sweet ones ) 39p
Broccoli 49p
Potatoes 5kg 69p

I'm going to get the leeks (They're hellishly expensive in Morrisons), broccoli (and Mr F can complain all he likes!) and the tatties, if I can carry them home!

Morrisons tomorrow for essentials, movies on Tuesday so I am going to plan to go on Wednesday.

i have recently discovered the joys of our local aldi - but any idea when the deals start/finish ? if i go on thurs will i be too late for cheap leeks?
