    So, spent £4.70 in M*rrisons and small shop (app £30) of mainly fruit juice and some veggie bits coming today.

    Off to change sig.

    (plus added bonus of particularly good looking delivery guy :D)

    :rotfl:

    REALLY glad to see its not just me. I always schedule delivery days when I'm not at work and have recently started getting dressed (rather than my normal housework clothes) - just in case it's 'the cute one'
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    First grocery spend of the year and it totalled £28.11. £9.17 of this covered non food items. This leaves me with £21.89 for the rest of the month.

    Sorry that been MIA, but we are hoping to move at the end of the month and I am buried under packing boxes at the moment.

    I hope you are all doing well with the challenge thus far.

  • Change of plan for me today because of the weather so have been to W****ose and spent £13.92. Some of that was for the Food Bank bin that's at the store though.


    Lunch will be a small portion of l/o chilli and some salad and then we're eating out tonight for DH's birthday.

    £30.98 spent at Mr T online. They didnt have the veggie sausages i like, so it would have been slightly more.

  • Spent 79p at Mr T's when I finished work this morning. Needed mushrooms for tonight's dinner. That's not the last spend today, will have to get more this evening, when I go back to work. I usually manage to grab some YS stuff on Thursdays, but I won't get my hopes up :)
