Spent £7.27 today in Mr M and still forgot to get tissues. Cukes are same price as Mr T, so got one today, but lettuce still dearer so will wait. Got Meat free chicken kievs for DD, onion rings and petits pois; as me and DD1 are having mackerel but DD2 will only eat tuna. Also got yoghurts, as packed lunch ones are out of date and DDs are fussy though I'm still eating some that are date by a few days, and wrapped digestive bars for packed lunch too. Think that was everything. Spent £2.16 in Co-*p on two packs of YS breakfast pancakes, two packs of YS breakfast muffins and two packs of YS square wraps.

Made cauliflower cheese soup today and added blue cheese ... perhaps the wrong decision, as an odd taste which may not be the cheese, as added mustard too.

Off to update sig before I lose track

MIL needed a lift to the shops so I ended spending more than I wanted to :mad:

Hopefully I won't need much else between now & Monday.

NSD for me today. First one of the month. It's so satisfying to see the freezer stocks going down and knowing it's because I have food planned effectively!

Just finished my dinner sitting catching up with the thread. Really fancied baked potatoes yesterday but had none in so bought potatoes, a scented candle and a carton of cottage cheese in Sainsb.... and spent £6.22. The potatoes were for my tea to have with LO beef casserole, the candle to ward away evil cat poo smells when he uses his litter tray, the cottage cheese was a whim and will be eaten with salad for tomorrow's lunches for OH and I.

Tomorrows plan is cottage cheese salad for lunches with a yoghurt and fruit, and for dinner HM pizzas and baked beans followed by fresh pineapple if someone can be bothered to chop it up:rotfl: Still have HM muffins left for snacking. NSD planned

Good luck to everyone for this month and hello to all the new people on here.
2 NSD so far but that will change tomorrow.

Got 'Save with Jamie' out of library on Monday and today we had the Jerked BBQ Ribs. When was doing the marinade I had a taste and it nearly blew my head off, however once it was all done and cooked we really enjoyed it. Had it with wraps and sweet corn.
