Declaring a slight over of £423.38 for March

Going for £400 again for April

Frizzle_2

Can you put me down for £220 again please. That is for all food, toiletries and cleaning products and alcohol for two adults and two children. I would like to be under £200 but we will see!

I've made a meal plan for the whole of April, based on what I have in already. I've aimed for chicken once a week, etc etc and I feel quite good about it. Way back when I first became a single mum, I used to do this all the time, then converted to weekly. I've recently become sick of eating the same few meals all the time, so my month's plan doesn't have any repetition! Will used up some of my mahoosively ridiculous stock, and should make for a fairly frugal month.

Happy with that!

Do you fancy putting your meal plan on here? I always feel like we have the same meals rotated on a weekly basis. It would be nice to have some inspiration!

Sorry! I should have carried on reading! Thanks for putting it on x

I'm off the mark...

38.44 spent in aldi. That included cereal and cat food for the month, 4 bags of bread flour and a four bird roast (using my voucher) never tried one before but it says it serves 6-8 and was only 4.19 with the voucher so we will give it a go!
Also bought a bottle of wine along with the usual stuff.
I have loads of morrisons vouchers at the minute. One runs out tomorrow. £6 off a £40 spend. I saw their offer on packs of beer. (4 packs for £20) so will go and get those and a few other bits to spend £40

I have an order from Mr t coming tomorrow. This worked well for us last week as we kept out of the shops and spent a lot less than we have been doing.


Tomorrow's shop should come in at just under £70. I also need some GF hot x buns and GF stuffing which I will get from Mr S, I have a £1.04 till spit thing to put towards this.


My budget is £70/wk but will go slightly over this as I am buying a months worth of dog food on offer, some bits to bake some treats for the long weekend and my parents are coming up Sunday for a meal.


We have stuff planned to do this weekend so it will hopefully keep us out of the shops:)

Going for £200 as usual this month, failed and lost track for the last 2 months!

So far £24.21 and hopefully the shop done for the week.
