Hiya everyone :hello:


Spends today at Morrys of £11.39 and A*di of £9.31. This means total today of £20.70 and means I am now at £198.05/£200 :eek: So I am just hoping that I haven't forgotten to buy anything urgent/important.


We had salmon fillets, which I micro'd with a little white wine and lemon juice. We had croquette potatoes, asparagus tips with a little garlic butter and a HM stir fry with snap peas, scallions, strips of carrot and courgette and some bean sprouts in lemon and ginger.


Hope you all have a super Sunday

Evening all :hello:


Managed another NSD today.


We had roast chicken, roasties, steamed veggies and gravy. I made some stuffing balls with beef sausage meat, onions, herbs and black pepper which were quite successful. There's plenty of chicken and 'balls' left for another meal :j


Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

My last food shop of the month came in at just £13.89 after a £5 voucher which I'm more than please with. Managed to resist all temptations this time too! My August total is therefore £140.61 against a target of £150.00! :j

Ending the month on £240.78/£250 £9.22 to go in the savings account.

I'm declaring a final total of £419.52/£400 for August. Still over, but far less than we used to spend before I did the GC regularly, so I'm not too unhappy with it.

I'm a little over £155 so delaring the end of the month at £155!:eek:

I know why we went over and where to tighten my belt for next month. A LOT of batch cooking and slow cooking is on the menu.

All your yummy posts are making me hungry...now craving a roast dinner!

Declaring at:

£144.33 / £120 for food
£15.90 / £15 for toiletries/household
£25.86/£15 for cat stuff

So that's an overall £186.09 / £150

Not TOO awful given I had to throw an unplanned dinner party when my grandparents came to stay... But could definitely be better. Onwards to September!
