I have no idea what we are spending so I am setting total at £300 hoping to come under but worried I might exceed it

First shop of November at £27.63 £300-27.63 = £272.37

Spent £23 in Mr T yesterday= £272.37 = £23 = £249.37

Managed to get some of the buy 1 get 2 free on cheese and crisps

Had a spend of £41.73 at Mr A this morning. Hopefully that will cover us for at least a week, as we are well stocked and I have itemised so will do a meal plan.

Also picked up a couple of christmas presents, including some mackiesons for my old granny

Hi everyone,

Budgets done to here

Had my first Christmas shift at 'shoes' yesterday. Worked until 10pm, nice team of lads (made me feel ancient lol) so hopefully I should last the distance.

DH went to MrT to get some ingredients for dinner plus DS1's food tech requirements. Total of £16.33 spent. Will update my totals.

Hope everyone is doing okay. We have a new L!dl in town - will check it out later in the week *excited*!!!

I have spent £28.06 and £36 already. It goes so quickly! £135.94 left. £64.06/£200

Eggs,beans and chips tonight. Other than the beans it is a free meal as all from the garden. So tonight's dinner will be costing me 52p.

XSpender - I get the Doves farm GF white bread mix and use it in my breadmaker - it's gorgeous. As nice as a lot of gluteny bread. Need to leave it get completely cool before cutting though, or it breaks up.

Quick stop off at Ald1 today for me. €13.50 spent on veg, frozen fish, ham, those yummy maris piper chips, gnocchi and 4 lemon curd yoghurts. HM lasagne out of freezer for tonight, with YS green beans and a few chips (gluttony, but am craving carbs this week).

Ecover Direct order had arrived today. Shouldn't be so happy about getting cleaning products, should I?
