Spent £15.60 on a takeaway last night.
Bad move, I didn't need it, felt guilty, so didn't enjoy it.
What more is there to say0 -
Have just spent £9.93 on lots of fruit & veg -apples, oranges, bananas, tomatoes, cabbage, cauli, broccoli, radish, lettuce and cress. Noticed that Morry's had the £2 bag of potatoes in again but didn't get them as brought a 25kg sack for £3.75 the other week and we haven't even started them although we will be using them tomorrow.
We have a huge piece of turkey (3kg) for tomorrow that has been in the freezer for several months so there will be plenty left which will be used for rolls etc as Mum is having a surprise party next week as its her birthday.MARCH £62.38/2500 -
Good afternoon everyone,
Its a beautiful sunny day here in Kent. Just popped on to update my weekly spending. I did my main shop in Ald* on thursday and used my 2nd voucher. Total spent was £39.46, then went to Mr Ts with lots of vouchers and total paid was £4.17. Bought a couple of items in Asd@ at £2.02. Feeling pretty good for the coming week, so only milk to buy all being well. Have updated my signature. Have a great weekend everyone!:)SPC 11 #4450 -
Went to the market today as I hadn't got any change for the carpark, so jumped out and got some more fruit for the week and some carrots for tea tomorrow. I was pleased that I actually bought something that we needed rather than buying something from the shop! And also means that I don't need to pop into a shop tomorrow but was disappointed with the prices. I thought markets were supposed to be cheaper but it was much pricier than and aldi.
Never mind £5.50 to add to signature. At least I didn't get persuaded to buy other things, which I would have done if I nhad gone I to aldi.
I have a £6 off £40 voucher for morrisons so going to use that next week. Need some branded wash powder and will get milk, fruit and veg and a plant or something for mum for Mother's Day so hopefully will be close to £40!Grocery challenge-
