Not posting much - one week to go of our challenge here for Nov. Hoping to come in slightly under, might just scrape in!

Oh and need to add - today spent £11.64p when out in M&S Havent spent anything since Saturday so this is a step in the right direction.

Popped to morrisons this evening, got a bag of salad for tonight's dinner, pack of stir fry veg for tomorrow, a pack of Chinese turkey for the freezer, and then I saw that morrisons have all pork loin half price. I spent £2.60 and got 6 pork loin steaks for the freezer. I get paid on Thursday so will go and buy a lot more pork

Spent £7.50 in total today

Hello everyone!

Coxy your plan for your nephew sounds very fun and hopefully just what he needs - best of luck.

No spends today. Mixed up the meal plan and had the goats cheese pasta today, yum. Will have the chicken fricassee (which I made yesterday) with some rice and greens tomorrow. So far so good, hopefully won't have to buy anything other than milk until Sunday

I've spent £173.34 so far this month, so £26.66 left in the budget! I'm planning a shop with a good number of vouchers later this week or early next, so it's looking good! There is no room in our fridge or freezer at the moment, but we do need some veggies.

My online shopping is being delivered today so I will make up a meal plan later.:)

I just had leftover Shepherd's pie for breakfast.:eek:It was quite nice.:D

Got £90 until the end of the month (spent £360) so I think I'll do fine as I only need party stuff for Saturday (belated thanksgiving party) & some fairly cheap basic items like ketchup & cereal for next week. Got a voucher in Tesco yesterday for £12 of a £60 shop which is really good but I have to use it by the 2nd Dec which means going in on the 1st or 2nd which are Sat & Sun :eek: Think I will use it to get some of my Christmas food....

I also exchanged £20 in clubcard vouchers yesterday & got £40 worth of frozen food include 1/2 price lamb leg and pastry blocks :T My freezer is now bursting! Still got another £10 in clubcard vouchers which I'd like to exchange for frozen food but only if I have enough space in my freezer.....

I am wrapping up november as well under budget, very pleased and it obviously works for me to go via payday than calendar month.

So starting over on the new thread today, although had a tosco delivery yesterday so won't need anything for a week hopefully.
