    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    My 1st £100 has been spent, so i have £150 left.
  • In terms of grocery last week was no spend. This week will require a shop though
  • NSD for me yesterday :)

    Went to shop with DH for something for work for him, i picked up oil and potatoes, however DH paid for it with his business card so in theory another NSD today because it hasn't come out of the budget! Happy Days!

    I do have enough food for most of the month though! OH has teas/lunch sorted for the rest of the month

    Evening
    First shop of September £23.42 in Ald!, happy with that, it also included s few bits for my Christmas box, I like to by non perishables each week from now to soften the blow in December, I now have just about everything I need except eggs for the Christmas cakes. Every other day this week was a NSD day, next week will be different though as my mum is going into hospital and the parking is very expensive. Will try my best to keep to grocery budget though, which will help.
    Thoughts to all. Mrs D.
    Grocery challenge £52/£150 for June.
  • Hi All. First big shop on Saturday and spent £55.00 but this did include baking items so that I can make snacks for lunch boxes instead of buying them.

    Hope they turn out ok.
