So far, so good

Have been finding things pretty tought in terms of not spending money. I miss going to the shops and spending :0.
Just about to head off and do my shop and try and make it last us for 2 weeks.

I have meal planned like this
Shepherds pie
Hm Pizza
Hamburgers
beef steaks , mash and verg
Cornbeef hash and wedges
Carrot soup
Potato and Leek soup
Beans and toast
scrambled egg and toast
Tuna pasta bake

I have burgers reduced in co-op which were £1.74 down to 50p but buy one get one free, so ended up costing me nothing whatever way the till counted it..LOL.

On my list i have
1 tin of beans
leeks
Grapes
Washing powder
Eggs
red onion
Butter
Nappies
Wipes
Loo Roll
Cereal.
Anything also in the reduced section as well.

I am hoping this and other things i have in the house will last us 2 weeks and i can avoid the temptation of Tescos.
