    £5.99 spent today, although most of that was on toiletries and although i've included them in my total for now, if I get close, I may have to rethink things (they'll last me months!)

    £1.99 in Superdrug on 3 x shower gel.
    £3.00 on 2 x shampoo and 2 x conditioner in Morrisons and £1.00 on some cherry tomatoes.

    He He I love this challenge, though think I may have sounded like a mad women walking around mr T counting my shopping as I went. Thought I would use my £4 off Mr T till voucher, and mr S £2 off £20 spend voucher, then found another Mr S £2 voucher so thought hey I will give this a go, and they took all three. So I saved £3.91 on multibuys, and then had £8 taken off with Vouchers. Total shop £25.28.
    Cant believe how well I am doing bearing in mind I am now buying for 3. then got a nice call from my Bro who is currently staying with us, and he is offering to buy Chinese after my meeting tonight so that is a meal saved for another day and a nice treat.
