Hello All

Jusr logging my weekly shop of £34.73 - I tried Mr A today as I believe A1di have put their prices up on alot of things Their peppers last week were £1.10 for 3 at As today £1.47 but that was for 6! Anyone else think their prices have gone up?

Hi everyone,

Well my January GC has ended (yesterday) and I'm under by £50. Before everyone gets excited, mine is a 'virtual' underspend as I use a cashback credit card for my food and petrol (hence the 23rd being my end date). Still good tho', means less to pay when the statement comes in (and yes, I do clear the balance every month :A)

Majjak - that's a fantastic weight loss, well done. I too am following the plan, but with less than 1 stone to lose it's now coming off v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

Carolinerunner - I think we are twins seperated at birth. We too freeze bread (always YS) as we only ever toast it, plus my freezer is looking like the Marie Celeste, but everything in it will be on my meal plan for the next week.

Off to do some 'flying' now and catch up on everyone's news.

Hello all,
Have not been posting as struggling to keep up with thread but am caught up again now. Went to Mr. Ts on Sunday for last weekly shop of the month. Overspent by £13 so am taking it out of next month's budget cos bought lots of nappies and meat that was Y/S. Also then spent £7 on formula yesterday. So that's £20 out of new budget.

FEB Budget £160

No spends to report here - nearly went to T's but decided to wait until Thursday when so can get the paper with £5 off £30 spend for Ald! (I think it's in the Mirror?). I have a £5 off a £40 spend from there so will stock up on some of the special offers to go in my garage 'shop'.
