I feel a bit ashamed of my whinge-fest now (I will keep wiggling my bum though ).

Spends for today:
Co-op £3.67
Holland & Barratt £4.98
Boots £1.85
£10.50 total

I have my second Clare Barry online meat order coming today (Paid from April's money) which I'm looking forward to. Our first order was excellent and has stretched far further than I expected.

Never be ashamed of coming on here for a winge, its the most supportive thread I know, I love Mrs C`s "wiggle your bum". I have, since a tiny child done this whenever I am excited or happy about something and my kids do it too, I noticed the other week that my DGD also does it.

So come on everybody whats made you wiggle your bum today, for me it was finding mega reduced bananas in Asda, 12 of them for only 10p. Made icecream with half of them, will have banana on toast of 3 days breakfast, and use the other 3 for banana bread.

Wiggle wiggle I think.

After completely disappearing and failing miserably to keep track in April, I really need to pull my socks up for May.

I've got a freezer with lots of ready meals, meats, cheeses, breads etc, and quite a bit of dried stuff (pastas, rice etc). I'm going to aim for £175 this month, and I'm going to do it properly!

Oh, I did try the Tesco's Everyday Value Museli last month. I think I've eaten cardboard with more flavour!

HM pizza for us tonight. Did an AF order last night, which I think was mostly things that I would not otherwise have bought... so I am not completely convinced that it was mse! Still, I told myself I could try it once and evaluate!
As a result total has leapt up (and weekly Tesco delivery to add tomorrow) - but lots of WuL included in AF order as well as loads of snacks to last beyond end of month.

£2.84 spend at C*-*p on YS bread ( sure i was charged full price for this as the total she said and the total i have are different, plus i didn't get the receipt. They do this quite often in our branch). Anyways, that and two tins of chopped tomatoes for tonight's tea, and Quorn meatballs as cheaper there than Tesco at the mo. Even cheaper in Asda but can't get there!

Tea - Ratatouille topped omelette.

Hi everyone!

I'm going to give this a try. Please put me down for £150 for one person (lots, I know, compared to some, but I'll try to be really good and whittle it down rather than feel like I messed up by aiming too low and not hitting it.

I'll make a list of what I have. I think I may need some ideas. I just did a small supermarket shop and have bought some random items as I didn't really plan it first! :eek:

Just to say for anyone else who maybe buys them, i stand corrected; but the Quorn Swedish Style meatballs are cheaper in the C*-*p by 25p actually. However, not sure if the bag is same size ... i have a feeling it is, as i think they only do one size of that particular product.

Please put me down for €170 again this month, succeeded in April so hoping to do the same this month.....not expecting any visitors to eat into my store of food....hope that I'm not speaking too soon!
