Went to Mr. T. get a paper only, as interested in Slimming World meal plan in the Sunday Mirror. Came out with paper, grapes and water. So total grocery spend £4.49.

Damn! accidentally threw out my meal plan with the shopping list (I stuck to). Not prepared to rummage in wheelie bin so time for a think...

Gone from thinking i'm doing well to not so sure. spent £20.00 yesterday eating out and a further tenner on bits and bobs, but the cupboard and fridge is now completely depleted and I will have to do a big shop tomorrow. Maybe £200.00 for family of 5 is too little (altho kiddies are only tots)?

DH also complaining about not being able to 'grab a sandwich' or choose most expensive thing on menu. I have just made him take some leftover soup I had frozen to his mums to give the kids for lunch, 1. so he dosent 'grab' them a maccy d's and 2. because her idea of healthy is spaghetti hoops with crackers (i kid you not, this is what they had for lunch last week!).

So, I'm left in bed feeling all stuffed up and feeling like a right stingy nagging wife! - Also had to knock on the head his £10+ spend a week on beer watching football, which on derby day didnt got down to well...moan over.

Hi all,

£50 spend at the wholesalers bought

2x large chicken - YS at £2 each
2 x boxes of biotex (was chuffed to find this) at £1.75 each
A GIANT box of premium washing powder - £10
130 premium DW tabs -£9.98
Big box of firelighters (not OS, but better that putting the heating on when we come in) £4
Industrial size bottle of zoflora £4.00
Plus a few bits and pieces, milk etc

The household stuff should last at least 3 months - now do I take this whole amount out of Jan,s budget or split the household stuff amount into 3 - any advice gratefully received xx
