Fiscal Fast – 7 days no spending (at all)

JAMIEDODGER

6 NSD's in a row:D

I will be shopping tomorrow, I have to order my veg box and pick up bread and milk for the week. Will be starting another fiscal fast on Wednesday. It's been pretty enjoyable not going near a supermarket...I could get used to it:D

Afternoon all fiscal fasters:)

Ordered veg box this morning £17.50, then spent £45.86 in Sains. Added some baking ingredients to my basket as had run out of quite a lot and have plenty of baking planned over the next month. Bought extra bread and milk for the freezer too.

That should be it now for another week or there about:)

I now have a lovely clean shopping list too, nothing needed yet!

Thinking about it - its another NSD today and will probably be so till at least Friday :-)

If son was not visiting then it would be even longer! I think the NSD record is probably held by Jackie O !!! :-)

Keep on frugalling folks!

Today will be NSD 9 so far this month:T Still nothing on my shopping list and won't be buying anything until Tuesday when I order my veg box.

Made a lovely carrot soup yesterday and a bread and butter pudding, as had my DSD's and DGD over for lunch. Will be making another soup today, but not sure what yet, must check the fridge and see what needs using up:)

I have dipped in and out of this thread since it began and with a decision on redundancy being made in the next week or two I need to get back into it.

I have already given DS his weeks money for tuck shop so I should be able to go a week with no spending after yesterday's big shop. I have popped to the shop already this morning so my challenge will begin tomorrow.

Lots of batch cooking today to stop any lazy trips to the chippy on late finishes.

Well done parsniphead now you are going be focussed about this aren't you get cooking girl, and fill that freezer up with lots of good HM meals.

If you have a late finish then get it out of the freezer and into the fridge so it just need zapping when you get home

I'm not a huge fan of cooking, but I like boxed ready meals less. They also leave me feeling very hungry.I have been making my own for a long time but have really slipped recently. My two biggest issues, procrastination and dis-organisation.
