Been a busy week, new food processor arrived, so made some twinks for the office, which went down a storm, have taken orders for next week! Then used it to make some herby parmesan chickpea balls to have with pasta and sauce, sooo much quicker and easier than by hand. Think we've definately made the right decision in investing in one.

Can someone please tell me what shop B&M is - been racking my brains, but can't work it out.

bodmin B&M is B&M - its like home and bargains. I like the sound of those chickpea balls, is there a recipe please?

£43.83 from my MrT delivery (they were late!) - more 30p evaporated milk, 500g wheetos at £1.25, and 2 for £2 on Lurpack butter

Just checking in with update, please see signature. I feel I am doing better than last month x

I think we've had the same idea with our surplus GC... Saving for xmas, but you'll see from my sig i doing considerably worse. Only managed a surplus of £13 jan then overspent feb :mad: Trying harder this month or it's gonna be a very light xmas...

Scotmum- sorry to hear your sad news

Updating from yesterday spent £15.02 but got various bits and bobs from £1 shop and HB's that will hopefully last the month.

I have £329.69 left I will have to go to shops today for bread/rolls etc for lunches but will resist buying anything else.

I have a ham in the SC and I am going to make a pot of soup need to focus this month.

Morning all. I'm a bit late to the thread with my target. Target for Feb was £150 which I was about on par with. Surprised really, thought I'd spend a lot less, especially as I'm not including alcohol.

Target for March is £100.

I'll be spending less this month as I'm going away for a few days and need to save spending money, otherwise I'll be eating dirt while away.

Me again!
Can someone please point me in the right direction to look for advice re meal planning?:o
I am trying to get to grips with it and have looked for a thread about it, but cant find one?

Dinner is in the SC- spag bol. Nothing exciting, but quick, yummy, easy and cheap!
I need to use up some leftover chicken today, so its chicken salad for lunch.
Breakfast was some free Alpen porridge sachets that i got the other week in morrisons.There was a lady handing them out for free, so i asked for 6 (2 each)! I felt a bit cheeky!

No SMs for me today!
