Had another NSD yesterday and did a shop at Mr T today of £9.97
so have amended my totals.

Welcome to those re-joining. :beer:

I am finding it a real help being on this and I it seems others feel the same. It is great to have a bit of support and not to feel you are the only one trying to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the £s.

Hope you all have a great week-end - meant to be warm and sunny ??? :rotfl:

Well I think I am under budget (just!) not really been planning meals so my shopping was a bit random!

Today will be a NSD as I refuse to go over my budget

Shortie

Morning all. Yesterday was payday (woo hoo) so a fresh lot of food money. Hoping to get to our 'local' market ~20 miles away but Mr Shortie is doing bits for the village this morning and we're out this afternoon. I have the kids and hoovering this morning so not sure we'll get there

How do you get your poached eggs so nice? My previous attemps at poached eggs have always failed miserably but yours look so yummy!

Morning everyone, I've just under £40 to last two main shopping days to stay under budget for September. I know it's doable and the crucial thing will be sticking to my list when I go shopping today.

We'll have sausages tonight, lamb shoulder tomorrow and prawns with pasta on Monday. After that I'm running out of main meals so will be hunting out YS bargains.

I spent £10ish in the Co-op yesterday and this included £2.75 on a YS cooked chicken and 33p for YS new potatoes, which I was pleased with.

I have around £4 in nectar points so that's helpful, I will try and stick to under £20 this week, but that has to cover a load of stuff for school lunches as well.


**edited to add, I spent £30 which leaves just under £10 until the end of Sept. Stocked up on own brand Weetabix and bought a couple of bits I didn't plan for. I will have at least £7 in nectar points by next Sat so £17 for then should be fine.. . Fingers crossed.
Should be proud of how far we've come x

I am determined not to go shopping this weekend. I've already spent 85p over my budget for the month so I am trying to exercise some self control and make do with what is in the cupoards, fridge and freezer.
I don't think I'll get to the end of the month without spending but I'm going to save my £15 off a £60 shop from Mr T until the first of next month.
