    Quick visit to Morry's this morning and spent £7.34 Really trying to eat more from stock we have in especially the freezers. Yesterday I used up a couple of pieces of salmon from the freezer although I had planned to go and get some white fish to batter, so instead I did salmon, small potatoes, green beans, broccoli and a cheese sauce.
    MARCH £62.38/250
  • £28 added to budget already mainly rubbish must stop doing this silly really and I know it leaving £226 for month

    I'm up to £29.78 with four weekly shops still to do... Tomorrow's shouldn't be too much, just bread, milk, yogs and fruit, in theory. As long as each week is around £15, that gives me a £10 buffer for any midweek necessities!

    Newbie here so going to set £125 for two of us plus two extra mouths, twice a week initially for the rest of the month.
    Going to have a look through freezer today, meal plan and then do an online shop so not tempted to pop in for anything and buy things we don't need.
    Make £100 a month /
    OH C/Card Bill £7500 / £
