got my fruit a day early, the school i work at had a charity fruit sale in aid of a cancer charity so i got a few bits and bunged a tenner in the potno less than id have paid in the shops but a very good cause and nice fresh stuff. there are some things more important than being MSE sometimes

Too true..good cause..proud to say I know you (virtually)...!SG

Once the shopping is done and you're "on budget" it's Wine O'Clock, it's just like the sailors "sun's over the yardarm"!!!

I started a grocery challenge the day I realised we had a got ourselves in a slight financial pickle. Our grocery spend has decreased every week, can't believe it. We're eating more food as well as a more varied diet, who knew!
w/c 16/8 - £77.42
w/c 23/8 – 42.59
w/c 30/8 – 20.12
w/c 6/9 – 18.54
w/c 13/9 - 14.56 and received 0.76p off tesco voucher :T

Agree with the varied diet being OS....I've bought, cooked and eated food I would not have put on my list, all because of Yellow Sticker shopping mentality.........love it!

NSD today! Woohoo!

Still struggling to update signature, anyone else having issues?

Mine should say 3 NSDs!

Yep - just got a server error! Writing here that I'm currently at 99.28/£130 so I don't forget!

I can't update either so must be a fault.

Had another NSD today but must go shopping tomorrow for some fresh fruit, veg, eggs, milk and washing-up liquid so shouldn't be too bad I hope

Hope you all have a chill Sunday
