£16.69 between Aldi and Sainsbury's today.

Should now have enough catfood etc for the week and only maybe need to pick up fruit and bread before Sunday.

Meal planning to do tomorrow though!

A small spend of £3.50 on painkillers yesterday when we were out and about. (We had plenty at home, wish DH had said.)
A NSD today, at least in the GC, I bought some shoes and bits from M&S but they are a separate budget and accounted for. My meal plans for the week are going to have to be jiggled round a bit as we are out Tuesday and Wednesday, so i want to make sure that we use all the fresh things in the fridge rather than freezer food which we were meant to be having tomorrow. Hmm.

Lots of NSDs and today was totally a non waste day! I cooked the roast using the beef I had over and froze from last week, the veg peelings-cauliflower leaves, carrots were turned into soup with half a butternut squash, stock cubes , garlic,onions and herbs added. The potato peelings were turned into crisps and sprinkled with seasalt and parmesan cheese. I have some HM day ld bread which I made croutons from. I also made some dumplings using AF cheeap pancake flour and vegetable oil. A very productive day!

£93.54 :eek: spent yesterday but that includes pretty much everything for the month, will only need fresh stuff top up shops.

£104.65 spent so far in February, sounds bad considering its only the 4th! Confident we will come in budget though.

Few large spends at the weekend but freezer now well stocked up with meat and a new bag of spuds in the shed £40 Butchers £20 Market for meat and £12 market for potatoes. Should only need little shops now for salad and veg. Should come in on budget, fingers crossed.
