Back from Asda on a YS hunt as our local store was closing down and our new one opening on Monday got some great bargains, spent l5.00
but all at about 75% off, but am sitting here shaking, injured and upset at the behaviour of a minority of people, it started off orderly and friendly, people waiting their turn, people responding to a request "pass me one of those please" but the it turned nasty people shoving and using trollys like battering rams, I put out a hand to deflect a trolly crashing into a pregnant woman beside me and lost half a thumb nail,
Its bloody sore and I find it scarey what will these kind of people do
if theres a real crisis.

Sorry .I have posted before that I am nervous of a scrum at the YS
but todays experience has absolutely floored me.

Know how you feel. I had to get myself of the one in morrisons.. it wasnt worth the savings.. i was shoved and pushed by people twice my size...

I was once in MrM and a man nearly knocked the lad doing the reductions flying to grab some cheese. It was quite scary actually :mad:

Aldi topup...£5.53 the baggy and no purse is working!! Bread, rolls, milk and veg

Higher spend this week than the last two weeks. But, that was to be expected as I've run out of almost all store cupboard staples and quite a few cleaning products needed too. I think I should still come within budget, but I'm glad February is a short month!

Thanks so much for all your kind wishes, it really does mean a lot.

Billie-jo I am so sorry for your loss, my condolences.

Katkin Thanks for the recipes, I have tried the washing liquid in the past and it is very good, but I am keen to try the hand soap, and as I have all the ingred on hand it will be on my todo list for the week.

OH had a very successful day he and his 3 mates caught 9 tuna, so spent hours prepping for the freezer and had tuna cappacio for last nights dinner, delicious.

However he was out all day, so instead of blackberrying I harvested lots of veg from the gardens and made the first batch of picallili for the season. Just starting to feel a little like autumn now, although it has not been a very good summer with lots of wind.

Going down the coast today, mother is coming for a visit, so am frantically doing deep cleaning in the house, better get back to it
Cheers

A bit late but please can I join?

I haven't done a grocery challenge for a few years but think I spend too much on groceries!

My month started on the 10th, pay day.

I will go for £200

I've had Mr W delivered today £60, hoping that with what's in the freezer will do a good week, we always run out of bread, milk and cereal have no where to store more!

for the Period 17th Jan - 14th Feb I spent £240.11/£240


The for period 14th Feb - 14th Mar the aim is to spend £240 again, especially as it's an amount that seems to be working for us now
