This is my first post but iv been stalking these forums for a while! Decided to join in with this challenge and I set my budget at £250 this month. For 2 adults, 2 kids (4yrs and 1yrs) this includes nappies, cleaning and toiletries. It's a five week month for us as ill start tomorrow when my shopping gets delivered! Hope I can stick to it.

Raggy doll - maybe you could try making corn tortillas rather than using GF flour? If your kids will eat them (must admit I personally don't like them) they might work better? I think the bought ones do have gluten but traditionally they shouldn't.

If these don't work I'll give it a try

The shop ones annoyingly contain gluten :mad:

Overspent this week but - a lot of money was on Branston Baked Beans - Asd - 4 for £1. There are 49 tins sitting in the garage.
We had HM Shepherd's Pie + Carrots/Onion + LO Baked Beans for dinner.
I made some muffins while I had the oven on. This week I bought a bag of the odd shape carrots - 1.5kg Sainsbugs - 95p
First time using this recipe - very different to my usual Muffin recipe. In the interests of readers - I tested a Muffin - delicious.
I had to substitute some of the ingredients but the result was great - Mr F loved his half of a Muffin.
I will share recipe if anyone wants it. Cost to make 12 Muffins - approx £1. They are a filling Muffin - I suppose because of the added fibre ingredients.

Yes please if You don,'t mind

I'm in for another month - £80 budget again, and hoping to stick to it! Having a look through my freezer, I've managed to run it down quite well, and will only have the herbs, spices and pulses in my cupboard to finish off now! Some Scotch Broth, 10 bean chilli and chickpea tapas will see those through :j

How does everyone store theirs. I have bit of papers, magazines etc. keep finding lovely recipes but need some suggestions. Has anyone found anything on App Store that users can add their own ones to ?

I use Evernote. It syncs between pc and phone and you can click on web items and choose to share to that app, or copy and paste into it yourself.

NSD for me ... first one of August, even though it's still July

NSD here.
We had HM Quiche + HM wedges + salad for dinner.
No Photo - had electrician here all day - lots of clearing up to do. Plus I am getting a room ready to decorate. I have paint but need to buy some filler and a roller/tray.

So I've spent the whole evening reading through the OS forums, added a new notebook to my T shop that's arriving in the morning and am actually excited to take an inventory of the kitchen tomorrow... Is that sad? Lol

Morning All!

Going to slash the budget to £200 this month - boys are with their dad for half of the holidays so I will be eating up what's left in the freezer and cupboards.

Good luck everyone xx
