Did I say today would be a nsd?:o That was before I read that MRT had all baking 3 for 2. I stocked up on flour, yeast and icing sugar. I have added the total to my signature.
Plus they have spaghetti for just 20p per 500g at the moment so I grabbed a few more of those £36/£240

Had a surprise invite to my eldest for a roast tonight, I took dessert with me out of stores, excellent food, I wish I could claim that I taught him how to make yorkshires and gravy like that but I didnt, and I got to cuddle my new Granddaughter for a little while.

Hey - WELL DONE - it's great that you managed under budget :beer:
Not feeling too well this week-end so had to hold my breath and send DH with a small list to Al*i. Really pleased as he only bought the grocery things on list, didn't substitute for anything not there, got a HUGE swede and HUGE cabbage - both 59p each - and bought me a treat out of his own money, Bless.:D
Bill was £ 10.81 but should mean I don't need to shop for the rest of the week ( well - that's Plan A):rotfl:Have amended totals.
Have a good week all

Congrats :j
I spent £30.72 in Ald! today, which was more than I ought considering my shopping list going in, but the extras were mostly store cupboard stuff so don't feel too bad
. Bought Saxon luxury toilet roll for the first time (£2.99 for 9 rolls) so will yet y'all know how I get on!
So the meal plan for the week is:
Today: bangers, mash, gravy and veg (I so wish I had a bigger freezer so I could've bought those 60p Yorkshire puds in Sainsbobs yday
)
Monday: stir fry (except now the OH says he wants to go out for a meal :mad:)
Tuesday: roasted veg quiche (LOs for lunches)
Wednesday: aubergine and kidney bean burgers and fries
Thursday: homemade pizza
Friday: meal out with the OH's parents
Saturday: not sure what the plan is yet
On the downside, I remembered about a poundstore visit that we did last weekend, which was mostly stuff for the flat, so need to look out that receipt and see exactly how much we spent...November GC: £50.55/£130. October GC: £72.60/£150
September GC: £131.27/£170. July GC: £62.48/£80. May GC: £135.00/£150
April GC: £201.91/£140. March GC: £194.98/£200. January GC: £111.41/£200.
December GC: £67.45/£80. Nov GC: £159.32/£220. October GC: £208.07/£250.0 -
Start of another week for me & i'm hoping for a NSD. I'm out & about so will need lots of willpower.Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0
