NSD here. :j
Dinner menu - sausage rolls - FF + garlic bread - FF + fried mushrooms & onions - need using up. Weird combo but means no spending.
Tomorrow I will bake a quiche - got everything to make the pastry.
I have cheese that is about to fall out of the fridge and eggs to use up so - Be Ro quiche on the menu. I have Cous Cous and some vegetables in for roasted veggies.
So plan is - NSD tomorrow - although may need milk.

Hello,

I will be starting July GC early as I needed a main shop delivered today.

Therefore, my first shop for July has come to £68.71. I have been a good girl and have split all the meat up already and frozen in its correct portion sizes. I have enough meat in for the month now, so will only need to top up for the month on fresh veg and dairy.

Good Luck everyone.

July starts for me today, with a Waitruse order, £65 after savings and a tenner voucher off. Lost track completely last month but have planned meals for next ten days and am determined to keep it down this time!

Aiming for £200 please.

Thanks Coxy!

Little bit of shopping today. I have £2.50 to last me the rest of the week, but apart from a bit of salad I don't think we need anything else.

July starts tomorrow for us - this month bf is away a lot and we have my birthday but we're not doing anything special as far as I'm aware...I may buy a bottle of something - nothing expensive :-)

The month is starting with bf off to Poland until Sunday - I'll be seeing my dad on Saturday and bf's mum on Sunday so will be using a bit of money then but probably not from the food budget.

First things on my list Angel Delight ice cream powder (Morrison's) and then second (Saturday at big ASDA as it's cheaper there) will be some fruit/veggies, pasta, multivits.

Anyone know the best place to get hay fever tabs (loratadine 10mg preferably) body care is 99p for two weeks (one a day but not the most effective)?

Hi everyone,

As someone pointed out this month is a 4.5 week month (well is for me unitl next pay day). Please can you put me down for £215 this month.

As work 4 days a week and have 2 kids under 5 I find things quite busy so what I've started to do is do:

1) Meal Plan
2) Production Plan

Basically a weeks plan for when I'm going to make our meals (as I make meals to eat a day in advance as think nearly all taste better the next day) and also when I plan to make the treats in the week. Started to seperate these out between us else DH eats everything I make!!!!:D

Good luck to everyone and we are all in it together!!xxx
