Going for my first shop at Aldi tomorrow... Hoping I'll like it and keep shopping there to bring down the food bills.
Had a small spend today, £8.

hi everybody. even though i've lurked quite a bit around, i think this is my first post.
i'm going to try this month's GC, as my bank account has not been feeling really well lately, and my food expenses are totally to blame. I know I might be a few days late, but hey, I have not received my paycheck yet, so let's pretend one delay counteracts the other

So I'd like to be put down to €30 for the month (cleaning products and toiletries inc)- I don't live in the UK, but I believe my budget, as previously stated, is slightly over £25

this is only for me. also, both my cupboards and freezer are well stocked atm.

let's see how it goes

Well just back from Mr Ts and weekly shop came to £64.14 so I will update my ticker accordingly. Should only need bread and milk top up the rest of the week and I also forgot coconut milk which I will need for my korma later in the week too. So on track so far.

Beef stew and dumplings for dinner tonight. Our butcher left the beef nice and chunky and it was delicous. Just Ice cream for pud.

Also reporting a NSD thank goodness, maybe another tomorrow:D

big shop for us today, total now up to £80.81 so will be very careful over the next few weeks! trying not to go over budget this month.

£40 spend on weeks groceries at Mr M's today..
Used up cooked gammon ham along with chicken thighs to make a yummy ham n chicken pie with mash.. boys loved it & they didn't even ask for a pud so I must have filled them up :rotfl:

Wishing everyone a good week!
