Yey! :j Yey! its Friday and this is my NSD # 4.

I will also try not to spend tomorrow making it No (5) and have a fun shopping trip on Sunday.
As I have a very special friend visiting on Sunday, I will need toget a bottle of wine and a few Peroni's in as well for him.

Quickly going to sign in on Mr.T and see how much they cost.

Yey! :j Yey! I am so glad it is the weekend.:o

morning all,
well its the end of week 1 for us and i have spent
£12 on cat food at pets @ home
£12 on coffee at sa1nsburys
£15 in @sda
£14.83 in t3sco (including £10 on nappies for the month)
£22.48 in l1dl.
total £76.31

i did buy 2 daily mirrors last week for the @ldi vouchers, i used one last week as part of january budget, but have resisted the urge to do an @ldi shop this week, as i would be spending £40 for the sake of it. so im in line and actually under budget for a change. i think i might be getting the hang of this

My signature is updated. We have done 2 online shops and some top ups. It is not looking great, will have to be creative!

Went to Mr S last night. Spent £30 odd (and have updated the sig accordingly). Managed to pick up 2 very large pork chops for £1.60, 2 large lamb steaks for £1.40 and a lot of chicken thighs from the butchers counter for £3!

Now we're stocked up for another couple of weeks. We have frozen veg with every meal and the only fresh stuff we buy weekly is some fruit for me to take to work, milk, bread for OH and that's about it!

Oh should add that we did buy some steak for £5 and a bottle of bubbly wine for £7.50 out of the £30 for our valentines dinner. Everything else we already had in.

Hi can I join the Feb grocery challenge please? I know it's a bit late but our Feb budget didn't start until the 6th. We budget every month but this month is really, really tight so need to shave more of the shopping bill. I have spent £24.30 today and am aiming at £150 for the month that is for 2 adults and 2 primary school age children. I know it's going to be hard but needs must. I will update my signature as appropriate.

I must make a quick post on our Feb Grocery challenge.
I have been to Tesco twice this week with DD2 as she "needed" chocolate and I have not spent one penny because am already 50% into my budget this month.

DD1 gave DD2 £2.00 as she cleaned her bedroom and this has been the chocco fund :rotfl:

Thanks to :money: and this challenge I have not spent money or I know it would have been :eek: when the cr card statement arrived at the end of this month.

Have a lovely weekend to all of you and I will catch-up again after I have done my basic shop on Sunday afternoon.

Been to Al.. today - get the SS before they change at weekend. ;)I spent £14.50 but got some bits for my stock cupboard. Al.. were out of Cranberry juice - the only thing on my list that I came home without. :(Al.. is certainly busier than it used to be. Out of the 19 items on my till receipt - 11 of them were veggies. One was tea bags - not essential today but on offer - 50% extra. I also got the 98p butter for baking.
Off to update my sig and my stock list on computer.
