Comments

  • What I Did today was rather strange for me.

    I normally go and get my lunch everyday and spend around £4 to £5 a day on Sandwiches crisps drink etc.

    I wondered round the supermarket and found 5 packets of supernoodles for £2 Bargain:D

    Then I got myself a loaf of bread and some butter, Yoghurts and Bananas.

    It came to £5.69 so from going from £20 - £25 a week on Lunchs I spent just under £6.

    I might do this every week and change what I get just to vary it up.

    Abit of a tip there for you guys

    Denzel it's amazing what you can save just buying a few essentials. My DD takes food what has been cooked the night before to work. She loves yogurts and fruit cocktails. A large tin of fruit cocktails cost about 89p, this can last her for 4 days. Fruit juices coast 99p for 5 so her lunches are covered for the week. It's a great idea to do this every week, you'll see the savings bigtime!!!:D

    Evening everyone - looks like everyone's been busy DFWing today and putting me to shame!

    I have....
    Taken flask with coffee to work (and remembered to bring home for tomorrow)
    Made & eaten HM lunch (I'm very easily sidetracked if someone's going to get a sausage roll etc but resisted temptation)
    Walked to C*-*p with dog to get crumpets & mushrooms - they didn't have the crumpets so will need to go back tomorrow so bang goes No 1 NSD for Feb! Unfortunately the Diet Coke Elves were out in force :(...... luckily was restrained to 2 bottles due to not having car to take it all home in!
    Load of washing in
    Turned heating down
    Fed dog & cats
    Cuddled dog
    Remembered to change car tax disc

    Still to do....
    Dinner from stores (no idea what yet & tummy rumbling)
    Hang up washing
    Ironing
    Sort out cats room (don't know how 2 of them can make so much mess)!
    Uni work (need to get my head round these essays and come up with a plan on what I'm going to write about - it's soooo much easier in the units when it's a "write about xxxx")
    Soak in bath
    More cuddles with dog & both cats

    Better go & get on! Yeeeeeeehaaaaa, Monday's over!:j
    Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
