  • I spent 85p yesterday and £1.11 so far today....
  • I'm quite proud that I've spent nothing of my £50 budget so far this month!
    Although it will change today as I'm stopping off at Tesco later... I'll take a shopping list. ;)
    Because it's fun to have money!

    I do not have waitrose anywhere near.

    I buy things wherever I pass on my way to/from work.

    Done my "big shop" on the 28th and now it is just as when where whatever to be honest.

    Have no time to search for cheapest price/travel to get it.

    Shattered as it is without extra time on shopping for 1-2 things...

    :(

  • Mr M today recording £55. Was actually £70, but stuff for school and MIL in there.

    We are drowning in apples,buckets of apple and blackberry stew in freezer,made apple flapjacks for kids after school.
    They look great and are relatively healthy I hope. Recipies is:
    6oz butter (or marg?)
    6oz golden syrup
    6oz sugar

    Melt in saucepan,then add 12oz oats and 2apples.
    Bake for 25-30 mins at gas4 or 180.

  • A little spend on my dinner. Needed washing up liquid as a matter of urgency!! So popped to coop on my dinner and bought that and a can of cider for the pork dinner tonight. £2.22. Always shocked at how expensive that place is, but better that going to asda as Ill always end up spending more.
  • Oh and I won a raffle yesterday consisting of 3 peppers, spring onions, cucumber, potatoes, beetroot and lettuce and tomatoes. I gave the lettuce and toms to my mum as I won't have chance to use them. But that will help with next weeks shopping...not bad for a 50p ticket!!
