Hi all, reporting my spends for the start of the month. Was disappointed on Sunday as I only managed to drag my OH to MrA just as it was closing and therefore my plans of finding whoopsied meat for him were dashed, and a lot of the stuff i needed was missing Will do a trail around the town a few nights this week to see what I can pick up. Spent £21.47, the most expensive items being non food. I can't compromise on my fairy liquid and colgate toothpaste but at least there's enough bought for March too! Veg box delievered today which was £14.55 for the next two weeks. Final spend of the day was in Lidl for the things I missed in Asda on Sunday. So a larger than I hoped total of £40.94 :eek: Hopefully that should last us 2-3 weeks though, and I'll be using up my freezer hoard.

Hi philsmum - Aldi super 6:- 500g brocolli 49, 6 kiwis 39p, 6 pears 59p, 5kg potatoes 69p, 500g leeks 39p and 500g chantanay carrots 39p - guess where I'll be going tomorrow.;) CandyGirl - sorry, just realised question was aimed at you, hope you don't mind.

Updated my total as I've been to Asda and Lidls, will have to update again tomorrow once I've been to Aldi's.:cool:

Dinner tonight is HM meatballs, with Hm tomato sauce, pasta and chickpea salad that my DD2 has brought home from Food Tech today.:D

2 NSDs in a row for me - it'll change tomorrow though as I've realised we need toilet roll, bread rolls, squash and biscuits for visitors on Thursday.

Hopefully I'll keep it to under a tenner (much less I hope) and will stay within my informal £45 a week budget.


On second thoughts I may make some cookies - think I have all of the stuff in - off to check....

Evening peeps :wave:

i`ve updated my sig with the latest spends - another £9.58 has vanished so i desperately need quite a few NDS`s

I did manage to get some whoopsied ox heart so i`m making some dogfood in the slowcooker overnight tonight. I forgot to get milk and dog biscuits whilst i was out so i think that i shall make up some of the 300 year old dried milk that i found when i cleared the cupboards out a while ago. I couldn`t bring myself to throw it out and it always comes in handy

I need to rearrange my meal planner yet again as we still haven`t eaten anything off it!

I`m loving the tomato soup chat, i`ve not made any for ages, i`ve bookmarked a couple of recipes so thanks guys.
