Well, as it turns out if you order 44 bags of pasta they deliver 44 bags of pasta.

Needed to get some apples and rice today so my total is now 56.80€. I'm going to go to Aldi tomorrow for a top up shop of fruit and veg as we're almost out. Managed to pick a bit of salad from the garden today which was a nice treat!

Have looked both in store and on My $upermarket but cant find pasta for 9p. Cheapest I can find is 100% dearer :rotfl: Te$co value pasta quills.

Spent loads today but thankfully not all from grocery budget. Now have strawberries and tumbling tomatoes in hanging baskets and fingers crossed they grow.

On the grocery front spent £32.94 in Te$co and 99p in c0-0p. Slightly more than usual but myself and DH have started the s.w. diet and also brought the mag which was £2.75 :eek: Oh well if I dont lose lbs I have already lost nearly £3's :rotfl:

well my meal plan for the day went completely out the window, we got stuck in oh's work (our roads being resurfaced and altho we can in theory get up it in practice we're really struggling) so had lunch there so a free lunch, were not long home and my heads pounding and oh was after a chippy tea, but i was very good and said no, the boys had left overs and we just had chips beans and cheese, saying no to takeaway when i feel sickly is a real achievement for me so i thought i'd post

Up to a £24 spend.

Got a bargain today 32 slices of smoked bacon on date for 99p but it is 4 packets. So just the right size.

Yours

havent been on for a while but managed to catch up with the posts, havent declared last months total as i lost track near the end, must tru harder this month!!
So far ive spent £36 on DR delivery which came today, my second order and im pleased with the food although can be pricey so not very MS, i usually get the offers.
Need to do weekly shop tomorrow or weekend and note to myself only buy what i really need

NSD today. Good stuff. I have now started a spreadsheet for my spending, as I seem to get through a lot of money, but don't really know how. Have headings like petrol, food, ch ents, etc, and am quite shocked at how much I've spent this month already. Think I will be doing the everything challenge, not just the grocery challenge!!

I need to ask, what does DR mean? Is it a supermarket?

And does anyone know of meat or veg boxes that cover the cf72 area near cardiff?

thank you.

Good news on the saving money front, just been given 3 chicken legs and thighs by a neighbour. A little past their best, but not yet off, so cooking them tonight and I'll have them cold tomorrow and the day after.

every little helps.
