    Okay was going to be a NSD today but run oiut of butter, fruit and we were low on milk too so thought I would do a mini shop as I wanted to get some stuff for cleaning as well (having now joined the Flylady cleaning thread :p ). Anyway only bought what I had on my list but came to
    £12.53 :eek:
    Spent about the same amount yesterday as well so I really need to get my supermarket spending under control.

    Tomorrow I will treat myself to a sandwich, drink and packet of crips when out for lunch so hoping for no more than £5.00 on that.
  • I really haven't got the hang of this budgeting thing.... :confused:

    Let's just say we'll be eating beans on toast til Monday... (probably minus the beans by Saturday, and minus the toast by Sunday).

    Spent £18 at Tescos and when I checked the receipt (in a ruthless mood), there was over £9 of 'stuff' I could have done without.

    Oh well. I'll keep trying.

    I didn't go out at lunch time in the end for a paper so had another NSD still have my £5.33 :j

    Made the weetabix brownies I was going to and OH is making shortbread now so we have things for the pudding party made from things in the cupboards :money:

    OH spent day at home as we had work men in rectifying problems with our new home so he didn't spend any more either

    Not technically a NSD as we've ordered our dishwasher (following the above work to make space for it) but that was budgeted for - we've used part of our deposit money. Checked prices on kelkoo etc. went through cashback site and got boots points too (another £20 worth) so really pleased have plans for the points already ;)

    still 70p although i did save in the long run. I put three expressos in my coffee, which are normally 70p each, but the coffee is weak so i justify not paying the extra £1.40 :p

  • Hi everyone, I also had to get the car tax today, but I'll take that out of another budget. Spent £1.20 on a bottle of juice and a bag of crisps. I also bought a lottery ticket, £1.
  • 35p on chocolate at work
    £2.50 on lunch (I'm feeling a bit fed up atm and everyone else was ordering in so I did too)

    also sent an amazon parcel (buyer pays postage) and petrol (bedgeted for) so total £2.85 out of weekly budget

    well final total, i spent 38p on some savers apple pies for with tea after the gym...i know it's a bit of an oxymoron that, but the way i see it is i go to the gym so i can enjoy the odd apple pie without feeling guilty! still on budget tho :j
