Trixie what have you been doing with your leave? Playing with the baby and planning your next frugal plan of attack? Well done!

Day 15

Call it well done but actually I have been scouting for cheap sales for Christmas gifts. Me and my little boy are going to the Philippines to visit my family. I spend some but comparing it to previous years, I would've thrown 3 times the price of what I bought now. I used to give everyone a gift (literally all people I know) but now I am limiting it to just my family. Relatives will get a bag of goodies. No more, no less. So proud of myself for learning this. :j

I realize that frugal life means being wise. Thanks to you all.

LUNCH for today - I am going to cook something that will use lots of tomatoes before it gets to the bin. Tomatoes with pork and some anchovies - Philippines dish.:D

Hi All

Day 16/19 for me. Yogurt and cereal bar for breakfast. Ended up having leftover Haggis, bean & potato pie for lunch.

I sliced up my roast pork joint last night and i'm planning to leave 2 portions aside for a roast dinner and make up sandwiches with the rest to freeze ahead.

KittieJ I have a vague idea about how much I think I've saved but cant wait till the end of the month to confirm. I will definitely be doing this challenge again next month as it has made a huge difference. :j

I think I will keep a proper note of my NSD's as well as if I do well with this I might do that properly in November. I am hoping if I make one small change at a time it will be easier to maintain them in the long run.

Another 2 days in the bag even if it was back to cheese salad sandwiches and fruit!

now up to 17/18 with my trusty veggie chilli today.......OH was a bit of a fail yesterday, he left his on the kitchen table but he was good and resorted to a mug shot and an emergency granola bar

He has YS bread stick today with the interesting man filling of pepperoni slices, cream cheese and chipotle paste......sigh...
