I am going to go over & fail on the last day! Just realised that we do not have enough sausages for the dinner of sausages & mash tonight. Oh well, it should only be over by pennies.

Afternoon all

Another £13.11 spent today and I'll still have to buy some more bread as I hadn't noticed that our brown loaf was mouldy!

Hi All

Declaring another spend of £40.24. So MrsM could you record a spend of £681.30 to date from an annual budget of £2700.

Good luck everyone.

Well turned out that I didn't actually have enough potatoes or sausages for dinner tonight so didn't do very well did I on my second attempt at a meal plan this week?! So with both of those, plus 4 whoopsied parsnips for 23p, I am now over my budget again! Plus, the bag of potatoes were VERY small & will need some more tomorrow!

Mind you I did feel a bit better earlier about the huge amount we spend on food every month in this household. I went to see a friend who has 4 children and she reckons that they easily spend £600 plus on food etc every month. Needless to say I passed on lots of the tips that I have learnt on here even if admittedly, I don't put them all into practice myself a lot of the time!
