Just a quick question, do you all count NSDs only as days when you spend nothing on groceries or when you part with absolutely no money at all. For example if you pay extra money off a debt or buy somthing like essential oils or a pushchair or petrol (unusual items to put together I know lol) is the day no longer a no spend day? Just curious.

I count any day that I don't spend money on groceries as a NSD. I don't count spending on anything else!
HTH:)

well some spend to report (unfortunatly) £4.25 I was passing by a shop that i am never normally near and they have the loveliest ham so i got some of that and one of their rolls - had some for my lunch and there is enough meat left for another 2 or 3 lunch so not bad value - but gosh it soon starts to mount up eh? - will really need to start thinking about meal planner for next week have really just been winging it this week based on what we already had in - more planning required for next week - are there any link to meal plan threads?

Just updated signature with the small spend since Monday.

Nothing to report as all quiet here for a change.;)

Good luck to all the newbies. You'll find the inspiration here is fabulous. :T

Well, my Asda and Ocado orders have now been delivered, and I ended up with a run to Tesco and Sainsburys too (had vouchers to use up and was near bigger branches than I normally get to) - my fridge and 2 freezers are literally filled to bursting (honestly - it was touch and go whether it would all fit in), and the pantry is nicely stocked, so whilst the figures are very scary, it's all been in a good cause.

Spend so far (on day 4 of the month! :eek:) is £192.47.

That leaves me just under £90 to complete the month - I've split it into 6 £15 lots, one for each Monday and Thursday still to come, and as it only has to cover bread, milk, fruit and veg, I'm not actually worried - a few months ago I would have been doing a very good headless chicken at this point, but I'm more organised now

Here's to a very good March

45p spent today on a bag of crisps at work. Waste of money but this week has been horrible at work, so I think I deserved them.
