Hi guys, I am officially here now. I need to add £5 for online delivery ... runs out on 15 but won't be renewing, as I like the price, but not being tied to Asd*. I will just take advantage of the cheapest slots or nipping in store.

£5.24 from Asd*, £1.49 at the Co-*p, £5.85 at Mr M and £6.25 at the C*-*p ... need to add up and do a sig (not tried on tablet)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 ££110.46/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

£28.22 spend tonight at aldi. Needed a few bits, and really needed sugar to make jam with the yellow plums I bought at the market reduced on Thursday.
Shouldn't need anything but milk, flour, and maybe 1-2 bags of chicken breasts to last until the 25th. Fingers crossed!0 -

Had lunch out with a friend today (nothing to add as came out a different budget) so only a little tea of aubergine curry (from a girl called jack recipe) with a pitta bread. Made what was supposed to be a 4 person batch of the curry but it's only made maybe 2 1/2 full portions. Wondering if her portion sizing is done for her and little one counting as 2 hence not coming out as 2 adult portions? I used a massive aubergine so was expecting to have extra curry left over not less!New graduate trying to get debt-free.

I don't include alcohol in our grocery budget, as we buy it so infrequently. But yes, there were baking bargains to be had, and free show tickets courtesy of MSE
