    Evening all :hello:


    Went shopping today and spent


    Al*i..........£ 18.68
    F.Foods.....£ 30.39 (all stock cupboard ex £1.50 on 2 milk)


    Did well at F.Foods as bought 15 x Hz b. beans, 15 x tuna, 36 x nicki T/rolls, large Pers*l, 4 x sugar and a couple of bits - meaning I could also use a £2.50 MOC.


    So this means that I've taken £ 28.89 from my bulk-buy fund and £20.18 from this month's budget, leaving me just over £18 for the rest of the month which is definitely do-able :j


    Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

    Spend of 6.56 at MrT .. The chocolate shot tubes I like were reduced from £3.50 each to 83p so stocked up, also got some more masses of bananas for my ice creams
    £2 spend at the booty too as one of my regular sellers had a load of Greg from her allotment she wanted rid of �� ... Yay as my dad is away this week so no free veg from him

    Weekend spends were more than I'd of liked but that's because DH went to the bakers to get some bread on Saturday and came back with cakes & fruit buns as well - so no change seen from the £5 I gave him to get the bread! Now added to signature.

    On the plus side I managed Fri and Sun as NSDs - now up to 18/20 NSDs. Should be another NSD today so will take me to 19 and only need 1 more to get to target. Who knows I may even go over my target this month which would be good as I've only managed to reach it once so far this year.

  • Went shopping on saturday and spent £31.35....which means we have gone over our budget again this month. However, it was by only £11 which was better than the £90 last month, so small sucesses. :)
