    Thank goodness we finally got to the end of October:T

    Declaring at £373.92/£260

    Final spends yesterday, farm shop for veg and lots of eggs, co0p for bogof Icbinb (not keen but will put up with it at that price, and it does say you can bake with it).
    If I take off wine & beer it would look a lot better, but I'm keeping them in to shame myself.

    As planned/hoped, I didn't spend anything yesterday

    So declaring as having spent £112.20 :eek:

    Not good against my adjusted budget of £84, but horrifying against my original budget of £53.
    The only softener is that it includes £27+ for an App F00ds order that only arrived today (so none of the items were even opened in October), and without that I'd only have been around £1 over my new budget :o

    And it also includes 6kg of (a couple of days OOD) grated mature cheddar that I managed to pick up through work for just £2.20 - this, added to the couple of blocks I already had in my fridge, means I should now have enough cheese to last me until the end of 2011 (the stuff from work being split into 100g bags and popped into my freezers). The cheapest I could find grated cheese in the SMs puts the value of this lot at £30....
