Spent so far this week Iceland £1, Aldi £33.64 and Tesco £31.80. So well in target . Next week will be counted in Jan challenge as I shop on Thursdays but shouldn't be a lot. Will update sig. I haven't found this as difficult as I thought it would be and we have eaten a better variety of food as we seemed to be stuck in a rut before.My secret fantasy is having 2 men....

End of the month for me spent £275.78/£240 budget so slightly over. As we haven't had budget before and had set ourselves an approximate I am quite pleased with this. Now to make sure Feb is under. Off to the new thread.0

Another NSD for me. I was home alone and had to fight the temptation to go and get fish and chips on the way home. I knew there was a big pan of home made soup waiting for me so I could eat straight away. And it was delicious. Sweetcorn, potato and bean chowder. Mmmm...
I really do have to resist the urge to go spend on junk.Grocery Challenge January 2013 282/300

Evening eveyone. Just trying to catch-up a bit:o 3 NSDs in a row:j
We had HM chips with HM tuna fishcake for tea. Trying to stretch everything a bit because I'm a little over budget -but there's not too much damage:D Might be able to sort it out next month.
I will need a trip to the butcher tomorrow, as getting very low on things for meals.
