    Good Morning,

    I had 6 days of FF before my weekly shop today. Spent £17.20, so this leaves me with £54.32 until the 27th June.

    Hubby may want to pop to the supermarket this weekend for some ice cream as I forgot it today! Oh well, perhaps he can pay for it? Lol!

    How is everyone getting on?

    pretty good atm as I have steered clear of the shops,the weather is far too nice to waste trundling around a supermarket :):) I have enough to last me and I shall be away tomorrow for two days anyway so fingers crossed it will be Monday or Tuesday at least before I have to buy anything :):) Nothing on my shopping list that I can't do without :):):)

    Well 2 days of spending but starting today back to FF .... got loads on for the boys and salad for me so hopefully enough to keep me going (hopefully if I need anything it will just be a couple of salad bits)

    Hello everyone,

    can I please join you here for a week? I've got very little money left in my food budget but my cupboards and fridge are full so we should be alright. The only thing I am missing is eggs so I might have to get some today and start officially on Monday (or get creative with the baking!).
    Trying to keep in budget.

    I found that if I take only a small amount of money with me I am less tempted to splurge even on YS items. Also if you are really good with your main shop you may still need a top up shop for milk and cream anyway. Eggs can last a long time if kept properly.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.
