I usually wash it well and then eat it - it ges lovely and crispy and is nice IMO!

Thanks for replying, I've just realised I asked about the flesh when I meant skin, I'm such a duh brain sometimes, lol, of course you would eat the flesh as that is part of the filling!:o I usually peel my BNS so wasn't sure if the skin was edible.

Can I please be put down for £150.00 this month? Although I've managed to keep under £135.00 for the past couple of months, I will be getting some Christmas food this month, so I think I may need a bit more in the budget.

DD came home form uni for a few days, its was great to see her but it meant I spent more than I thought I was going to this weekend. But still it was worth it to spend some time with her.

At Mr M spend £66.22 less multisave £4.33 then had 2 x £5 coupon/vouchers so £51.89 yesterday forgot to get treats for tonight and needed cheese and Birthday card so at Mr A this morning spent £10.36 less cheese on 2 4 £5 less 2 50p vouchers in their monthly mag and sweets reduced to £1 so only paid £7 in total.

Still had a big cooking/baking session yesterday and have a number of frozen HM meals to have over the next couple of weeks, and will make chicken curry for tomorrow from the left overs of todays roast chicken.

Also supplied DD with some fresh veg/salad/bread to take back with her this evening to uni.

Will use up food from the cupboards and freezer over the net couple of weeks and have a good stock of cleaning products so dont need to buy them for a couple of months so this will help my budget.

Would like to say thanks to everyone for making this tread a great read. :T

Can I join this one please - I have a DH, a toddler in nappies and 3 kitties. We normally spend about £100 p/w so can I go for £300 for the month please! Not sure if I can shave £25 a week off the budget in a month but we'll get there eventually!!!

Please can i join? My budget for myself (and my growing bump), my husband and our 13 month old boy is £100, and this includes cleaning products, toiletries and nappies. Hoping to use up everything in our freezer in the next 2 weeks and not have to spend a penny! My mission is to cut down on the 12 litres of milk we use every week :eek: to a more reasonable 8 litres.... because even on the farmf00ds 4 litres for £1.50 thats still £18 per month!
