Hello everyone

£16.59 spent so far this week, but I will only need more fruit and possibly yogurt before next Monday, so not too bad. I go SW so eat fruit and veggies in abundance, but at least I save on bread and marg:) Going to have a look round ALD* for fruit etc as haven't been in there for ages and keep seeing it mentioned

Bought some bread and milk etc yesterday.

£7.54 spent in Teeescooos

Need to get some fruit today but am going to buy it in the village rather than waste fuel going to nearest supermarket.

Hi, can i join, its been a long while since ive been on here. I would like to spend £50 for September - this is to include everything, including cleaning stuff - which i dont need and (omg i hate to say this - alcohol). I have so much stuff and im trying to use up cupboard & freezer stuff.

Following on from my idea yesterday to pop into my local One Stop for reductions, went at lunchtime there was chicken breast at 2.00 for 400grms which I thought was quite good but I didnt really need it so didnt buy. I thought I would go back later to see if its reduced further
and have just been and Yes same packs for 1.00, there are 3 reasonable sized breasts.

So have bought 3 packs 3.00 spend for today then, So 9 chicken breasts for 3.00 is 33p each and since I have been trying to cut down on meat I can make 1 breast do 2 meals thats 18 potential meals 3.00 divided by 18 is around 17p. Cheaper than chips I think.

NSD today:j Had a good day, made tomato soup from some reduced tomatoes I had for tomorrows lunch, made a huge traybake cake for kids out of 1p cakes mixes bought from MrT a while back, just added eggs and chocolate, should last a good few days. Made GCJ Easy peasy garlic bread and posh mushroom chasseur for tea, had with some mash I had in freezer and a bit of wilting veg, delicious and so cheap. Definitely going to do a lot more of her recipes this month to try and stick within budget.

Well, NSD went out the window whilst shopping with the daughter. £12.30 to add, which included cereal that was half price, 3 lots of deodorant, bread, ice cream and pop. 3 lots of deodorant as my daughter kindly reminded me she needed one for pe bag, one for school bag and one for home. The joys of teenagers!!
