Declaring right on budget. We actually spent £20 off quid more but OH bought that stuff out of his own spending money. If we hadn't had a dinner party for his siblings we would have been right on even if we'd included all the treats he bought with his own cash so I'm happy.
Made satay chicken last night with pittas (not homemade sadly though I do usually!) and salad and roasted veg. Was yummy and healthy
Going out for dinner tonight so I think OH is buying himself a takeaway (with his own money) *rolleyes* he was supposed to be making veg chilli for both us but says he can't be bothered now I'm going out lol.DS age 10 💙 DD age 70 -

Still checking in for November here, my December challenge won't begin until 15th.
Aldi shopping today using the £5 off £35 shop coupon from the paper, plus some of the other money off coupons that were in there.
Had to pop into Tesco too though as Aldi didn't have all i needed to make my super speed soup, just got what i needed though
This brings my total spend so far this month to £241.20.
Had 4 NSD this week, aiming for 5 NSD for the coming week.
Have a good weekend everyone, going to be a cold one here in the morning, with a bit of luck the sun may shine though!August Grocery Challenge (15th)0 -

To sum up: shop at Aldi and Lidl with whoopsies & coupons from everywhere else, to reduce your food budget.
Is that right? With meal planning and writing lists.
As always cutting back not cutting out.0
