    Well, we didn't have our planned Sunday dinner today so saving that for tomorrow and will do chilli another night. We were at a party today and when we got back we were all full, so just had some toast. We did have to go to the shops to get some bread though as I deliberately didn't make any as I knew we were out for lunch today and to,orrow! So £1 to add to total!

    Hiya everyone :hello:

    making soup today for lunch for the week, bought bags of veg yesterday that were out of date today so they were reduced, nothing wrong with them though. Also going to make cakes for the week to satisfy hubby's sweet tooth.

    hoping to get a no spend day today fingers crossed
  • nsd today but a further £9 pounds from yesterday for toilet roll and dishwasher cleaner and a wrongly purchased rinse aid which will be used eventually

    Walked into town to go swimming and stopped off for eggs, double cream and raspberries for a cake, so a further £6.55 down - I did get a dozen eggs though so won't need any for next week! They're also on offer on the Shopitze app at the moment, so technically I'll get 35p back from them :) Up to £23.75 already for the month though - going to have to slow down over the next couple of weeks or I'll end up way over target!

    Off outside to enjoy the lovely sunshine now :)
