I like that - it sounds like 'fessing up time. My name is lynnejk and I am a food hoarder :rotfl: From the sound of things on here this week - 'freezers are full' 'SC is full' etc maybe this is one of our general problems

I have the opposite issue. We never seem to have much in. Because we eat it! If that doesn't sound ridiculous. We can spend £20 & 3 days later it will be down to crumbs and any leftovers I've frozen. And that's just with 1 child and 2 adults in the house. Does that make me an efficient food planner or am I not spending enough to keep a fuller fridge? Ho hum.

This month I've got £234 in the budget for 2 adults, which seems tight to me! But many of you have lower amounts for more people, which gives me hope.

Welcome to the thread Kahra!!


Don't worry about what you spend vs other people, just aim for less than last month. That's what I do anyway.


Studying the recipe threads tonight for some inspiration, I always end up cooking the same things!

Just checking in with a spend of £51.91 so far. I woke up the other morning with a cold and feel really rough so should get a couple of NSD's in :j

Evening to everyone.

Yesterday was a NSD first this month:D

Today we needed milk so DH just went to the local shop as it wasn't worth the trek to the SM so spent £1.45 plus he bought a couple of newspapers.

60p for the sun (looking at the cheapie hols) &
£1.50 for the times so spent £3.55 so I suppose not too bad.

Spent £4.52 on YS stuff earlier.
MIL asked to go shopping for bargains and she had the best haul ever.
She got about 30 packs of meat / fish (including a small pork joint, chicken breasts, fish pie mix) and 4 carry bags of veg / fruit for… £1.83!
I got fruit for the week (peaches/grapes,apples) cabbage for the bunnies, 3 lots of fish pie mix, salmon, gyozas, sweet treats, a pizza, 2 pies, mackerel pate, 3 pots of salad (one with prawns), veg mix to make soup, mint, sausage rolls, 2 lots of brie and a couple of other bits I can't remember so I'm happy! Although wasn't intending on spending...

Blimey which shop was that in?

Another 2.75 in Wilks on superglue and a clothes dust remover thing. And popped into Waitrose who had lots of bits on half price so got the things we need, spent 18 including a bun tray that was 6. Good offers on coffee, actimel drinks I only bought things that were half price! Ald* tomorrow for remaining groceries for next week. Meals planned for week. I'm feeling positive I can come in under budget!
