When I get home on Friday, I'll spend some time with our daughter and have dinner before heading to Aldi at 7, then to the ASDA behind for the rest of the bits.
Over £3 for bin bags!
Headed to Aldi tonight so I can make a Bolognese tomorrow night to fill the freezer. Bought loads of food, plenty for next two weeks, may have to pop back for some fresh veg but in total it came to £70 including some beer for tomorrow night. :beer:
Got the £2 bin bags!0 -
