I feed one adult, one teenager and two picky cats for £90 per month. Cats ahve about £20 -25 of that budget. I do it by shopping at Morrisons near closing time when I can get fruit, veg, dairy and bread all reduced to 9p. Meat reductions good too, but dd turned veggie so don't bother.

50p today on a can of coke to keep me awake during the dullest meeting on earth. I do have a rola cola supply in my desk but I didnt want to be seen with it in public (oh the shame :rolleyes: )

I was thinking of classifying it as a medicine rather than grocery but its just not cricket is it

Dinner is pizza: HM bread roll, a splash of value passata and 1/2 ball Mozzarella. Cost about 50-60p max in total and will do for lunch tomorrow too.
Might throw in a few oven chips to bulk it out a bit.

Total Remaining £59.50

Hope you're all having a cheap day.

last night's dinner...

tomato cous cous - boil water and add
Plus black olives (third of a jar 39p at aldi, yum
feta cheese (also in jar of oil.. keeps for ages)
plus sun dried tomatoes (only need a couple sliced into chunks)
Mix together and devour!

Still got £23.11. B/f under strict orders not to guzzle OJ or eat all my cheese and id behaving very well.

Free night out courtesy of seefilmfirst, too!

Tonight's dinner.. lazy pasta! Just some gnocchi and grated cheese over the top.

Think I will need to buy more fruit soon! With no CAKE am going through tins at a rapid pace!!

Also made up some easiyo low fat yogurt - 6 months past use by date but tastes fine to me!!

working at home tomorrow..hmm... yummy lunch... still have half tin pre-fried onions in a tupperware to use up...

No spender for me today. El Cheapo lunch of HM pizza leftovers and a can of rola cola. Dinner is probably toast/boiled eggs as I've just got in from work and I cant be bothered.

Still got £59.50

still chuckling at rola cola and thinking of Peter Kay...

If you buy coke in bottles you can refill with rola and preserve your facade at work!!

My hubby and I have spent in July £268.00 on food and household maintenance (cleaning, shampoo, e.t.c.) and we have two lovely cats, so it is their food as well. Are we spending too much?

I have really enjoyed reading this thread, £60 for the month is more than doable as long as its just for you and no one is helping themselves to your stuff cos thats when it gets hard!

Emmzi, where did you buy your fried onions from and how much did they cost? I love onions though I find it hard to use up a value bag and hate throwing anything away so I end up buying just one or two and feel ripped off by the prices they charge for them. The onions sound like just the thing for me as although I love the taste, I hate frying them myself. Is the taste much different to ones you fry yourself?
