    Afternoon all. Moneymaker2: do let us know how well you did at the boot sale :)

    Today I have spent:

    £48.27 on weekly shop, this also included some beers for BF and a few non food things. It also included a mixed berry crumble cake (individual portion) for me as a reward for getting around Sainsburys without killing anyone.

    Can I just ask, are there really people out there that have nothing better to do than take the whole family out to Sainsburys at the weekend, let their kids stuff their faces with <insert cr ap foodstuff here> and block the aisle with sideways parked trolleys?

    Do people not get BORED walking at a one mile a day pace down the busiest aisles? Or are they simply doing it to wind everyone up?

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

    Anyway a cup of tea & a cake later, I have calmed down and simply decided to go on a different day than the weekend now or do online shopping. Life's too short for this nonsense.

    Ahem, getting back on track, I also spent £4.99 online to get some Linusprout flax powder as Sainsburys seem to have stopped stocking it. Luckily I could get it through Quidco at a place that does free p & p too - woo hoo! :j
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

    Today I have spent £2.80 on a 'reduced price' pork pie for lunch and 2 bars of Tesco 'Belgian' chocolate - which will, I hope, last the week.
    I also won £10 on last night's lottery (£1 lucky dip) so £6.20 in 'profit':j :j

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
