There seems to be loads of people not well I hope you're all better soon x

A spend of just under £10 on milk, noodles, salad and eggs. My budget has lasted again this month, my YS stores have really helped us since new year Pay day on Friday :j

£20 in total today, lots of YS stuff but also £5 for DH cafe lunch grrrr I had an early start this morning and forgot to make packed lunch. It seems he did not think of making cheese sarnies at home.. Instead, he buys a cheese baguette in Pret. Men....

My DH makes his own every day and if he doesn't then he buys himself something - I refuse to buy stuff for pack-ups to be left in the fridge and buy ready-made out. It's his choice

£7.55 in Mozza's this morning on bread, milk, cat food... OH is at home and eating a lot, but can't blame him for the cat food.
Also got some pork belly and beansprouts in to rustle up something yummy for Chinese New Year.

Not posted for a few days, but a better week this week, £38 on T*sco delivery on Tuesday, another £2 on blackberries in S/burys, and ordered an organic veg box and salad box for my Friday delivery from Riverford, so another £31 to add, running total so far this week is £71.

I shall need to order a few things again for the weekend, as we have guests, but not much, so not expecting this to be much more than £30 - £40, will book a T*sco shop for tomorrow.

I am off now to update my signature!

£10 spent today in Co*p and Al~*i. Bought milk, veg, yogs, quiche, fruit, chocs (not needed, but wanted!!), cereal etc.

Have started to notice what we are getting through quickly each month so will be doubling up in March when doing weekly shops.

Have a great evening.:)

Lynnejk we have a common GC so for forgotten pack lunches the expense comes out of it, regardless of who buys. That's why I try to stay on top of the pack lunch business. He would forget and Pret would get richer.

£37 spent today, a bag of YS spinach in marks, then fruit, ryvitas, vege sausages, mushrooms, eggs and a big stock up of favourite laundry detergent which was reduced, in MrS. Used a £6 off £40 voucher, got the fruit for free. The sausages were matched against MrA prices (I knew so I bought 4 boxes), got the ryvitas for free (bought them after finishing the first shop, with the price match coupon.

From now I can only buy fresh stuff that is necessary or I will be over budget.

Hi everyone

Slimming World weigh in complete. Not happy at the results but only got myself to blame for being such a little piggy. £6.00 spent yesterday on fruit and veg on Sainsburys leaving me with £36.00 to last me til Wednesday. No major purchases needed so I quietly confident I can bring it in even though I'm back on SW.

Got a few home made sw ready meals in the freezer to see us all through. 2 chilli con carne, a lasagne and meatballs as well other stuff. Going back to my beloved Porridge every morning now as well as it keeps me nice and full.

Had a bit of a result at the slimming world meeting as the run a raffle for 50 p every week and I won it on my first week last night and my prize contained 2 items I would have needed to buy this weekend, potatoes and fry light. Good luck everyone x
