Also claimed my free N@k'd bar (thanks to the link from Martin). Then I ate it before I came home, but I did do a 9 mile round trip on foot in order to get it

I also claimed my free bar today from Superdr*g. I would not have known about this if you had not posted this. Other shops seemed to be selling it for more that 75p

Small spend today of £4.42 on bread, milk, peppers, courgettes and other top up type things. Total spend so far of £60.92/£192.

Done the meal plan for next week already and shopping list so I can fit in the shop whenever! Still hopeful on staying under despite the cupboards being nearly bare! :cool:

Planning a grocery NSD, but not a total NSD as am having dinner out (coming out of entertaining budget not grocery) to celebrate our wedding anniversary yesterday.

£2.25 spent in Iceland. They had a lot of things in a chiller at halfprice
don't know why, I bought 3 750g gram packs of the Oriental veg 75p instead of 1.50.

Just updated signature with last night's pizza takeaway and todays Tesco delivery. It's looking a bit ouchy but I'm starting to panic a bit as my freezers have never been so bare.

I had to buy cereals yesterday, and instead of fast food Friday today, I bought all the bits to make my own burgers in buns,

I have DS home today poorly with a cold, I am coming down with it too
Means I can stay home and have a NSD tomorrow - duvet, movies and homemade popcorn I think.

Congratulations on your anniversary yesterday Caterina.


I will have a small spend of £1 today for milk.


Meals today are scrambled eggs and grilled bacon (banana pancakes for kids)
Salmon salad for lunch then hm vegetable soup and hm rolls for dinner (apple cake for kids pudding). All out of the freezer.
Have a great day all.

Thank you piglet27!

Needed to pick up some milk yesterday. Got it from a local independent shop and spent £1.05. Going to eat like a queen this weekend - off to in-laws for fianc!'s birthday :-) Best part - no spends!

Went straight to Mr T after the school run. Spent £49.13 after the voucher but feel I got loads and some good offers like tuna and stocked up on frozen veg that will last well into next month.


Breakdown was £8.41 toiletries including 2 x tissues, 2 x shower gel, 2 x paras and a pack of pull ups and £40.72 on food.


I will need bananas and a bag of salad leaves for DH lunches but will get these Monday.


Change to the meal plan today, DH has requested a mixed grill type thing (when I have been shopping:mad:) so will have to make do with sausages and some value smoked bacon I bought for cooking with a fried egg and HM oven chips!
