£2.75 spent today on woopsied bread and half price tomatoes.
£13 left till Wednesday night and have enough milk, F&V so possible just 3 pork chops wanted.

Out tomorrow most of the day and any spending will be done by DH:j

Froze 4 lots of chickenstock today and enough bits of chicken for two lots of soup and also used up a fish pie from the freezer so think there is only one left in now.

Did go to Farmfoods and got two lots of milk, two Hovis loaves and a bunch of seven bannanas so it was £3.50 altogether.

Then I went to the Co-op and got a whole stuffed chicken that was £3.98, two whoopsied avocadoes 15p each, large tub of creamy coleslaw at 65p half price, a green pepper and some speadable butter that was on offer (only got home and already had one in the fridge). Was £5.97 altogether with my vouchers off so total spend today £9.47 which will defintely be it now until the end of the month and then I have a Sainsburys delivery.

Will update my signature accordingly.

I don't know what went wrong this month, but I'm going to try hard next month. School holidays haven't helped extra mouths etc... I must admit we are well stocked in some things, have laundry stuff for at least 3-4 months, have plentyof rice, cereals soooo! Nevertheless, What could I have spent that amount of money on?-it's obsene!!!

I've hopefully done my last shop of the month, spending £10.54 between MrT and Lidl. That makes my spending on groceries and wine to date £134.74, so should hopefully come under my budget of £155. I've also only brought lunch at work 3 times this month, so I'm really proud of myself!
