Hi kdalwaysskint :wave:
Today I spent £3.49 on chicago town pizzas (oven not working), strawberries to go with pancakes and some tinned tomatoes.
Have an order coming Friday, as got an email for £12 off a £40 spend at Ocad*. Will declare that in the March thread though as it's payday. £3 odd to last til then.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £85.95/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Spent £4.00 odd today on milk and garlic bread. I should have stopped there; but i couldn't resist the YS goodies in the C*-*p,so i am now slightly over. I got a YS Gooseberry pie (which i have frozen ,as i assume they make these from fresh; plus forgot i had made choc-mint cake and DD1 was making brownies at school) ... this was 50p. I also got wraps for 50p, mixed salad for about 49p, Ys muffins and can't remember what else.
Willl update sig properly later!
Will try and set a figure now for March, and providing i don't spend anything tomorrow, i am more than happy with this months result as i not only reduced the budget by £20, i also stretched it an extra week.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £85.95/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

More than happy with that.
