Hi all! I have been reading and haven't posted in a while because I am quite ashamed by how much I have gone overbudget this month- £44.83 :eek:

There will have to be some careful planning over the next few weeks to make up for this!

Did I see right that Mr T is doing veggies at 49p. Anyone know any more - what they are etc ?????

According to a link on their website's front page, they're 'prices down and staying down' items. The ones at 49p are iceberg lettuce, cucumber, spring onions and broccoli. There are others on this 'offer', but these are the only ones at 49p.

So I did my last shop of the month today. I had a voucher but didn't didn't need much- milk, veg, fruit, meat for sandwiches. So I shopped for next week! I got a months supply of cereal, wine and stocked up on wipes and swim nappies. I am putting the surplus on next month's budget. I know I shouldn't do this every month but my house is so well stocked up with food, and cleaning products I could start my own shop! Going to make next weeks shop as small as possible and try and save my bigger shops for when I have a voucher. This means leaving enough money in the budget for a bigger shop at the end of the month!!!!

Needed a few top up bits yesterday, OH insisted on coming with me to get some inspiration for livening up his lunches. Cue a big spend of £16.24. I'm adding another £1 to this as they didn't have any milk in, so I'll have to pop out this afternoon for that.

So £126.22/£180 spent - but I will have one more weekly shop to do before my month end.

Seems i already added the £7.02 but spent £1.50 on toothpaste (two tubes) off the market today so will deduct the difference from total (£5.52)

£14.85 in aldi puts me over budget but not over my personal april challenge so I'm not too mad at myself!

Last shop of the month for me too today and sadly am going to miss my target, have overspent as we went away last week and had a few too many treats, took grandchildren away to filey for a week so spent extra on sweets, ice creams etc, but kids all enjoyed themselves and it was lovely to be with them for a whole week though will need another week to recover so declaring £227.00 for the month of April, and am going to think about May tomorrow!!!
