£6-03 in Morrison's today on some mushrooms, carrots, sweetcorn and sugar.

Yesterday I made some fruit scones and some bread. Both really nice. Down to last bag of plain flour and also bread flour so will have to remember them next week.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Well the monthly "Big" shop is behind me - £49, and just stocked upon meat from the local market. £26 for 8 chicken breasts, big joint of beef enough for two sunday dinners and 3 sirlion steaks that will do 6 meals! The the fruit stall had last of the seasons local strawberries 2 for £1, half price grapes and bananas.. nothing wrong with either.

£8 odd in Mr M, DH had a list with pork shoulder, potatoes and apple sauce on it, and unheard of he deviated from it and bought 3 macaroni cheese ready meals. Aargh!

Todays spends:
£57.53 on a Sainsburys home delivery
£5 at market on fruit and veg
£1 at Poundland on cereal bars

All this should take us until next Saturday and then only 6 days left after that so should come in on budget...

Just wondering if everyone knows that Tesco accept vouchers for other shops such as spend £60 and get £6 0ff in Sainsbury's? I think they have doen this for a while but they now have big posters outside advertising it and leaflets by the tills. HTH

!celand £2.70 Bread and butter (lol that looks funny)
L!dl £4.96 Yogurts, cereal, salad cream, soap and chocs for munch
Sainsbugs £2.99 Potatoes and cheese

Total of £10.65 :eek: Think I might need to remind myself what the word essentials means!!

Edit: Actually now I've itemised what I bought most of those weren't frivolous!

I thought it was a no spend day, but I just saw some orange juice in the kitchen that OH must have bought! Oh well, at least it's healthy!

However he is very much slipping into his old habits of buying little things every time he goes to the shop to buy cigs - I've barely had an NSD this month! Think I'll make some sweet treats at the weekend as that seemed to work to stop him buying snacks etc.

I'm going to try and run the fridge and freezer down before holidays in 12 days (maybe I will even be able to defrost the freezer lol) so hopefully no more shops once the one tomorrow is delivered, except milk, fruit, salad and maybe a little more veg. Plenty of mince and a whole dissected chicken in the freezer so that's what we'll be eating for our meat meals!
