K9- would you let me know about the toilet rolls please? I have been using the asda smartprice ones, but i hate them. It's like scratching my bum with sandpaper! and it all breaks up :eek:

They are £5 like before, and offer ends 24 June. I am going to aim to save £10 out of the budget this month and stock up so that it will see me through most of July and summer holidays
Ps Another NSD for me (which makes it now three in a row). Hoping for one tomorrow too.

Will update sig later.

I do have a nice pasta bake recipe with courgettes, feta and sun dried toms that I could have used it in if I had remembered it was there:o[/QUOTE]

That sounds lovely, have you a recipe, I normally use the feta to make a feta and roast pepper pesto that I use to stuff chicken breasts with, but I only ever need a little bit and my boys don't like it on its own

Thank you meg72 the amount that I have thrown away is awful when you think about it.:eek:

So far my June spending has been:
61£ish at MrT for staples (but 3£ were for an e-book case as present for father's day;), so actually 58£ish grocery)
11£ at the marked for:strawberries, cherries, bananas, onions, garlic, carrots, lemons, tomatoes and a nice hm jam, BUT walking there hubby found a 5£ note :j so the actual spending from our pocket it's been 6£ :cool:
All this spent on Saturday, so also 4NSD in a row so far
GC June 69£/300£

Did our second big shop of the month to use up our 2nd Mirror voucher. I wrote a list and worked out exactly how much juice, coffee, dried goods, frozen stuff ect that we needed to get to the end of the month based on my meal plan and what we already have. Total spend after vouchers was £37.24 which put us on track to come in on budget.
Two more weeks until pay day and we should only need small top ups of fresh stuff.
This approach does take a bit of forward planning but it seems to be working for us and it means that we can £10 off our monthly shop using the Mirror vouchers.

Hope everyone is doing OK.

Another NSD here and for tea we are having cheese & potato pie and am using up the last 2 rashers of bacon in it and also 2 sausages that were left over, onions and last few tomatoes. Only fruit & veg we have in are onions, 1/4 of a cabbage, 3-4 small carrots,1/2 lettuce and 2 satsumas so a top up tomorrow is a must. Still its nice to see fridge empty now and again and no waste at all.
May also call in c**p and see about these toilet rolls someone mentioned - thanks.
Menu's done for another week and will do shopping list as soon as have eaten tea.

really annoyed with ones self, forgot to sort out my lunch for today last night, woke up late this morning so ended up buying lunch at work.

On a good note I did cycle to work again, thus not using the car and saving petrol.

Hope everyone is have a great day xxx
