How much have/will you spend today Tue 29/8?

Good afternoon folks!

Can't find the 'how much' thread anywhere today so hope I am not duplicating!

Another non spender for me today. Back at work :( and about to have my wonderful lunch (butter beans with tomatoes and pitta bread yum yum!) then straight home for a night of rest after a hard day at work :o

Hope we have many non/low spenders again!

  • Hi

    I Just spent £6.04 at the farm shop for some excellent quality fruit and veg (much better than the awful ones in our tescos!) Other supplies are running low so may need to pop out to Lidl later too.

    Nowt so far, have nothing in my wallet, which is a good thing cos it prevents impulse buying, but bad cos i will need cash at some point.

    I also have the tax discs from my old car and the OH's car that i need to claim back, so that will feel good when i send them off to the DVLA!

    £40 for a month? !!!!!!? That's like £10 a week shopping, how do you do that?

    Not sure yet as need two new tyres for the car.

    I will be going halves with husband. So say about £50 arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I was hoping next month would have been a bit cheaper.

    And need to pop in to town to pay off some off the credit card as well. So there goes another £50.

    Great payday soon :j

    And £2 from the 5ps and 2ps off the mortgage as well.

    Staying in today!

    Almost managed a no spend yesterday but crumbled when realised flatmate had eaten all bread and milk, plus have no hope of that being replenished.
    So suckered in by Tesco's and spent £6!
    Plus bought a xmas pressie too for 99p!

    Darn it!
    Waiting for delivery today, so no leaving the house. Making weetabix cake instead :)
