NSD for me too today, will add the £26 for my organic veg box to the total in my signature as it arrives tomorrow.

The meat that I ordered arrived this morning, it looks really good quality and I now have a freezer and fridge full, planning sirloin steak this evening, so hopefully it will taste as good as it looks!

Well I went into Ald* today "for a look " and spent £23.90
I can't believe I hadn't been there before !!! I stocked up on chicken breasts and sausages for the guys and also bought a moisturiser for myself. I will definitely be shopping there again as I'm sure I must have saved about £5 on what I would have normally spent. Very happy :) I also spent £2 in Tesc* so total of £25.90

Hello all

I popped into Tossco yesterday for butter and caster sugar, and somehow spent £9.44! :eek:

I did manage to get a few bargains. I got a couple of Muller Crunch corners on YS for 19p each, and 2 4-packs of Pot Noodles for £ 1.05 each. I do need to watch out though, as I am letting my love of a bargain persuade me to buy fatty stuff and chocolate.

I decided to buy the weekend milk and bread today, in the hope that I won't do a big shop at the weekend. the freezer is full and I still have some veg left, so hopefully any spends this weekend will be minimal.

good luck with your targets everyone!

Hi it was called bargain feaver Britain ap where on there and there website became so busy it crashed well into the next day.

I went to aldi and spent £50.98 yesterday used my last coupon for the month. I took my mum with me and she is always amazed just how cheap food is there she's a sainbugs shopper.

Tiny Asda top ups of £2.01 and £1.98 - second spend included a small refund as they had overcharged me for a reduced item before.

Bit late declaring myself 'in' for March, but I'm here

Budget for the month is £253.10

And since Wednesday I've been over budget for the month-to-date figure, due to doing bigger than normal shops at Mr A (some nice bread I can get cashback on, leaving it still expensive but just affordable - I even had enough freezer space to put a full loaf in there, which is totally unheard of for me) and Mr T (as I had a £6 off £20 spend - though £7.20 was non-food items and not counted against this budget). I've also done a small stock-up on long-life unsweetened soya milk when A!di had some in, as I'd made several trips down only to find the shelves devoid of it.

£40.89 spent this week. I've adjusted my signature. I'm trying to use stuff from the freezer. I've found one unidentified bag of something which I may be brave and defrost tomorrow :rotfl:

Did my top up shop yesterday and spent £16.02 - not too bad for the fresh stuff.

Another NSD today and hoping both Sat & Sunday will be too as going away for weekend and will be taking all food with us apart from one meal when we'll be eating out but that comes from a different budget so won't be included here.

Have updated signature but need to update NSDs.
