i stopped to buy some fresh veg and spent another $55. Produce is so expensive this time of year butI got enough to last until early next week. ALso stocked up on frozen veg which we did not have.

I need to go to the warehouse store and purchase mass quantities of cooking oil and onions.

We have used it for hot chocolate before, did in fact the other night, I find it quite sweet though. I wouldn't use it instead of cocoa as there is not enough actual choc flavour there for baking. Maybe stir into rice pudding?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi
Gone through and added up receipts, $731.10 but it is likely I will need to buy F & V before the end of the month so I wont post a final tally just yet

I have been rubbish. Spent at least £20 in the local C*op in the last week. I need to do a small shop tomorrow but I am already over budget. I will be declaring after tomorrows shop and joining March challenge. I really need to pay attention in March as it needs to be a 'get back on track' month. I haven't even had time to do a shopping list!

Spend of £32.99 in Tesc* today in what should be the last shop of the month for me. That brings me in over £20 under budget which is amazing I'm not going to declare yet though don't want to jinx it lol:)

well I allowed myself 100 to shop for two of us having spent just over 100 on first week of month
my monthly accounts close tonight for a restart tomorrow and I still have £5.23 in my purse - I KNOW I would have spent far more than this so really pleased with my first month
spent 94.77/100 for three weeks

Haven't been posting much on here cos I got too embarrassed at being over!! :rotfl: Seriously, how silly is that. We've spent more than I would like, but still less that last month, and we're both still getting used to planning and grocery shopping for two.

I need to get some milk today but I'm hoping to get away with no other spends until the end of the month. I'm certainly learning a lot about DH's habits, and how to manage his needs as well as my own. I fell down over meal planning this month as well, so when I was ill the meals got a little haphazard! I think my budget was too low this month - better to have it a bit higher and come in under.

I've also just been told I'm slightly anaemic, so will need to be a bit more careful about getting enough iron in my diet in future!
