How much have y'all spent today then?!

Hello Everyone!

I am rejoicing in the fact that today, will be yet another no spend day and since Friday last week I have only spent £5..IN ONE WEEK! Woo. That £5 bought me bread, Milk, Margerine and crisps and all of these items were BOGOF (apart from milk!) so I actually got myself about £9.40s worth of food for a fiver. Not bad!
What about you lot then?

    Zip :D My second no spend day this week. Though we should go food shopping tonight really, haven't been for 2 weeks (yay for that as £40 worth of food has lasted us 2 weeks).
  • Oh I would love another no spend day, just managed one this week :mad: Hopefully next week will be better.

    Have spent 95p today on a large wheaten loaf from the local bakery. Hoping that's it for today - fingers crossed.

    40p in the car park once I finally found a space :(

    They've dug up over three quarters of the car park to erect some stupid statue and make the car park prettier :rolleyes: What a waste of money :mad:

    But that was to go to bank to pay £35 into my account from brother - £5 is profit :D And sort out IB from when I was off sick :D

    Nothing so far but have to go food shopping. Am going to be tough and only by essentials. Might take earplugs so I can't hear the kids pleading for treats.

  • Nothing today. My last weekday of leave from work and the weather is cr*p, as it has been for the entire two weeks (I had to work in 30o+ heat for most of July, but on leave not so much as one nice day!). I haven't got any money to do anything but go for yet another bloody walk and I have to work both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, and I just know it will be hot both days. The Gods have it in for me, I sure of it.

    I have spent nothing today as yet but my digital camera broke yesterday and i am gutted so i need a new one so am going to buy it later. It's £150 in the sale.
    But.....
    I found two building society cheques yesterday worth £50 each that I can get paid into my account and never even knew existed (we'll they're so old I had forgotten about them - not old enough not to be valid though)
    So really the camera is only costing £50. Can I really use that as an excuse?
    On the bright side I went shopping late last night and bought 10 massive salmon fillets for £1.50. Bargain!
