2 nsd here, almost went to mini tesco for milk and coleslaw (I'm addicted) but I figure we have a bit of milk, will last a few more days. So will not shop until Friday, and then we only need fridgy bits.

Spent just under £20 in MR As today

And also £5.01 in Mr S but the £5 was nectar points so not sure If I count that into my totals?

It's up to you, but as it's £5 that hasn't actually come out of your purse, I wouldn't count it as money spent.

craigywv - you could make up some fruit muffins and freeze them ready for when you need some in a hurry.

I've updated my sig. I don't think I'll be on target this month
I think it's because we've had a lot of lollies and ice cream this month

Going to have to bow out of this month's challenge as I've got a few additional things to cope with, GC wise, and there's no hope of coming in under budget. Will be back at the end of August for the September Challenge and no force is going to stop me!

I'll look in though.
