Spent £20 yesterday on groceries which included buying bits to do a homemade takaway (so saved overall ). Am going out this evening to a local baby group but hoping to stick to a NSD anyway, there shouldn't be anything I urgently need to buy! Also managed to get lots of the ingredients and booze for Wednesday in Monday's shop (used quite a few vouchers & got cashback), so now only need chicken and will hopefully be underbudget for then too

Morning Gang!!

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party - it's been a hectic couple of days at work...!

Happy to report a GREEN week last week.

And I'm going to pledge just £5 this week!
I hope I can do it!
Really want to minimise spends so that we have more spending money for our holiday at the end of the month!!
We're house-sitting for the in-laws... So have been left with food and treats which we wouldn't normally buy - plus the added bonus of no bills at home and free exercise walking the pooches and looking after the other animals!!

Have a great day everyone xxx

Small grocery spend today (local Mr T), wanted to do a bigger shop but think I have a teething baby as he was a little unhappy this afternoon, wouldn't let me put him down, so lots of snuggly cuddles today. Will try and do a shop tomorrow.

Unable to shop today as little man is still poorly. So we haven't been anywhere. Change of plans for tomorrow. Cancelled my friend coming as she has a baba too and didn't want any bugs to be passed on so cooking for my sis instead. So not planning to spend anything from this budget.

Today was a NSD for me, but DH spent £4.50 on picking up something I'd forgotten so I'll add that to my total.
