my non-mortgage mortgage free journey

quintwins

Spent £4 this morning getting my tyre fixed, they couldn't find a puncher so just resealed it on the rim.

Then i did something naughty, i spent £130 on meat, i got 15 sirlion steaks, 40 chicken breasts,8 caramelised sausages,80 sausages, 2 boxes of breaded chicken, we decided to treat the inlaws to steak for tea

You'd think so but there is 5 of us, i worked out it's 40meals and the meat for each meal will cost around £2.50 so not too bad considering theres steaks , i have about 3 montsh worth of food at the mo, so i've done a shopping list for the 6 weeks, i will only bring the cash i need for my list and no more, it means i will just come in under budget this month, and next month should only spend £100. i'm hoping to save another £4000 by new year .

Since it's so cold i'm making me and ds a cooked breakfast, i say cooked it's toast with sausages and scambled egg. which cost me a grand total of 65p for both of us
