Avoiding the shops in April - The NSD Challenge

Keiss_21

Spending today...knew it would be, and got fresh food to last us until early next week, so was hoping for three NSDs in a row starting tomorrow. Unfortunately DH has found that B@Q have a grill to fit our BBQ (ours has collapsed!)...it is less than half the price of others we have found, so a good deal. He wants to get it tomorrow, taking a detour on his way home....so a spend, as well as some spices he needs to get at the Asian shops (he forgot to go today). Hey-ho, at least I should pick up two NSDs over the weekend.

It's funny how you resent spending on a day you plan on nabbing an NSD!!

Yay, an unexpected NSD for me ... #8

Had a day out with work and everything was paid for. I resisted all the shops at the train station on the way there and back because I was running late this morning and then was too tired tonight!

Unfortuately, as planned, Wednesday was a big spend day, but I'm back on the wagon with a NSD yesterday, taking me up to 11 NSDs - Woo hoo!!

Have a good day everyone and enjoy that Friday feeling!

Good morning everyone!

Early start for me today - wont be an NSD again today as I'm off to A5da. Dont need much and I am aiming to be under budget as this is the last week of the grocery challenge for me this month. I have a list and I will be strictly adhering to it;)
I am also taking puss to the vet to discuss the results of all the tests he has had done, so hopefully I'll get some answers today.
I also paln to pop into the library and collect my books which I ordered before my book buying yesterday. Thankfully OH is working tomorrow so I am planning a quiet day reading!

Laters..............

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Nothing megga exciting really - just a carrot cake from the chilled/cream cakes section. should be £2.59, and I got it for 85p
In theory it could go lower in price a bit later in the evening, but in practise I've never seen one stay on the shelf long enough to be reduced again....

I also picked up 2 packs of D0ra the Expl0rer fromage frais (12 pots to a pack) for 29p each instead of £1.59

More great bargains & the carrot cake sounds yummy!!

Good morning all!
Clocked up another NSD yesterday bringing my total to 3 woopeeeeeeeeee!

This no spending malarky is addictive! Defo going to spend today though, need to get a few things for the house and off to Blair Drummond Safari Park tomorrow so need to get stuff for sandwhiches etc.

Hope everyone has a brilliant weekend x

Morning all,

Jintyb - hope the vet has good news.

Only got a couple more NSDs to report so far, been hectic at work, and although I have had lunch waiting for me in the fridge at home, on two days there has been no way to get home to eat it so I have bought lunch twice. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have som many meetings to go to, when I get hungry my stomach growls VERY loudly so cannot just ignore it. Still, I very much enjoyed my cheesy jacket potatoes and am considering them as my treat for the week.

Going to be spendy again today, bringing the food shop forward a day as not in work, and have run out of milk this morning, so am going to do it all in one go as I seem to spend less that way.

So only 6/18 NSDs so far, I'm not at all sure I'm going to make it this month, although there are still enough days in theory.

Morning everyone. My tally is now 6 NSD's. Not doing so well this month. I won't have much access to a computer after today til early May (at least for looking at forums etc), so will have to keep notes on paper.

Morning all,

Well yesterday was a fail as my lovely partner decided to spend money on chocolate at the shop because he wanted to grrrr!!! At least he bought me some too :j

I really do not think I will get another NSD this week, as I have to buy fuel later before our journey down south to pick up our new car tomorrow. Sunday is a possibility thou.......have a lovely weekend guys xxx:D

I agree Shezam its so addictive. This morning I did my usual walk to work with two bigish heavyish bags instead of getting the £2.10 bus ticket to work, so I could bag a NSD! :rotfl: Fingers crossed I can resist for the rest of the day . . .

Fingers crossed for your cat Jinty, I hope its nothing too serious. Let us know what the verdict is.
