    Aldi tomorrow and will try and keep shopping to around £60 seeing as we just spent £20.
    Does anyone know how long it takes for them to deliver? It doesn't give any indication.

  • Hi Sista

    Still fairly new here but just wanted to say yippeeee about the next account :) Love the diary, am going to subscribe.

    P.s. we got our essential bits in Aldi the other day (fruit, milk etc) and was really surprised by the quality of the fruit - no different to sainsburys etc even though they are supposedly higher end! Will definitely be a permanent switch.

  • Well, managed to get housework done in the end :D
    Aldi was quite good, spent £44 but still had to go to Morrisons to get rolls and ham (DH very picky on this) and Asda for dog treats (again v fussy eater :rotfl:) carrots(they only seem to do a big bag), parsnips (don't sell) and lottery (DH treat) So with our Approved food shop, Aldi, Asda and Morrisons we have spent £81 this week which breaks our budget by £1 :D Approved food will last about a month though as bought snack things for the kids.


    Just asked DH i can pay the extra £86 off the big figure below (currently 19,085 for when i come back in months to come:o:D) and he said yes......off now to do just that then be back to update sig...smiley-happy080.gif
