First spend to declare, 43.10 in Mr m, have made a pledge to go back to ald! this year, however there are a few things I can't get there so stocked up on a few of these things and got fresh stuff for the week, mainly bread, milk, butter and cooked meats for sandwiches, there will be no shopping now till next weekend (well that's the plan!) and from then on it will be ald! all the way!

Thanks scotmum!

Just been to c* op, it's more expensive, but to get to a cheaper shop is a 15 minute drive so not worth the savings unless we need a bigger shop.



Also gave hubby £10 for any food bits he needs when he goes back to work, (told him his hair cut is to come out of that too )

So that's a total spend of £23.06

(I took £70 out in cash, have £53.50 in my grocery pot though as had some left over from December. I'm going to make this £70 last 2 weeks instead of 1, and if I have anything left after the 2 weeks it will go into my sealed pot.

Money, money everywhere

Student Discount at the Coop?? Do you need NUS card for that or will uni card suffice?

NSD here which stretches my budget!

I made spaghetti with tomatoes, carrots, onions & sausages tonight. I cooked a packet of 8 and used 4 chopped up. So that is enough left for another meal of some sort.

Honestly though I am struggling to keep up having the family home all day. My son has gone through a bag of tangerines since yesterday morning. At least when you send them in with a packed lunch you know they are getting 1 per day in there not 6 like he'll eat at home. I suppose I shouldn't grumble because he is a healthy eater but he munched through half a cucumber as a snack this afternoon!

Lol, my 4 year old grand daughter is obsessed with cucumber too. She eats loads of the stuff! She was delighted back in the summer when she discovered that I had them growing in a big pot in the garden
