My last planned shopping for November came to an awesome £10.70!!! :T:T:T I think I've never have spent so little...thanks for this challenge.
I'm going to utilize everything from my fridge this week as I'm moving out on Sunday, 1, Dec so nothing should be left in there

The zero spend weekend is going well here. I have a rice pudding in the slow cooker and have made some jam buns for us to have with a cup of tea if wanted.

Dinner tonight will be pizza and chips out of the freezer. Tomorrow's dinner will be mince and tatties.

We will probably have to do a shop on Monday, mainly for lunch bits for taking to work so that will be my first shop of December!

Heading over to the December board now.:wave:

Spent about £40 today (and a naughty £4.odd on chippy on fri) taking us to pretty much at budget with another shop to go! Its a 5 week month again and so we do well on £40 a week for 2 of us (inc. cleaning stuff, shampoo, healthcare etc) but cant get it down much more than that. Our budget has been £160/month for about 3 years now so might be time to accept it needs to be upped a little for 5 week months. Got a £5 off £40 for next weeks Mr T shop so will need to spend at least £35 - hopefully not much more until december!

Forgot to add MrT has 5kg potatoes for £1.74 (half price) which I thought was a very good price since they are now £2-2.50 for 2.5kg at the mo! Lots of potatoes on the menu this week.....

Hi everyone.

since its my first month I am going to take my full figure as my target to reduce, think I have said this already. but I have noticed I go shopping as a comfort when I am bored or feeling a bit down.
anyways have a good weekend all. think of me working away.

Yep I am the same but I think this food will be eaten and that if I had a clothes or shoes complex I would spend a Damn sight more.lol

£6.43 on treats for my Dds in the Co-*p . Pop, chocolate, choc raisins, sweets and milk. I normally get these in the big shop but hadn't had it delivered yet, so will be organised for next weekend which will then be December.

I'm not sure what date in December i get paid (as it's my first full months wage), and so i am here until then.

Off to update sig.

A spend of £9.98 today. I bought,
4 baguettes ys for 19p each
A chicken and chorizio triple decker sandwich for 39p, it will do two of us for lunch tomorrow.
6x crusty buns for 9p
A cooked chicken leg for 39p
2x hot counter cooked stuffings for 39p as well
5x curry sauce jars at 20p each
The rest was spent on bread flour, yeast and few other store cupboard essential. I'm pleased with that.

My signature is updated, I just have to get through to Friday.

Over spent for first time this year. That's what happens when you don't use this forum!! I have got married in between so maybe I get a slight pass.

I'm finding it hard to stick to the budget as girls are growing up so won't look to reduce budget but rather shop smarter so I don't have to increase it!
