£24 in Mr T's. Where I live our local one is in Eastville and it shows up on bank statements as Tesco Evil :-)

That did include £9 for lego, a meal deal (I wanted a bottle of wine anyway so it seems to make sense to get pudding, a side and a main for the other £4. And 2 tubs of ice cream so that should last a while.

I have £107 left of the £250 budget and 11 days to go so it's looking good. My eating and drinking out budget is way over though so next month I might juggle the envelopes around.

I've spend all my week's budget in tesco but i'm well stocked up for the week so it will be 6 NSDs for me

:hello:

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me popping back in... I'm lurking for inspiration from you guys. I've spent over £250 just on top up shops this month so far...despite both freezers being full!

I just need to get a grip, keep on track and use some of your fab recipes to use up what I have in already

Hope you are all good

We can do it if we are disciplined though, it was the YS drawing me in
I got £37 worth of food for just over £7

Well done sticking to your list Solstice :T That is what I really need to master.
