Well done on the NSDs TC - you're really ticking them off this month!!

I've given up on NSDs mainly because my new venture of saving money on groceries by not buying bulk, but rather buying what I need as I need it, doesn't fit in with it. I'm now visiting the supermarket nearly every day but I'm only buying small amounts so I don't throw as much away (I never run out on use by dates) and it's saved me over 50% on my grocery bill.

Thanks.
Wow, that's brilliant on the grocery spends Thistle. Well done. :j
I've been catching up on the eat well for less series. I found it thought provoking and I've come to the conclusion I have far too much in my store cupboards.so I'm going to try and get them down to a more sensible level-so that I at least know what's in there.
I'm hoping for more no spend days next month. Ideally I would like at least 10 a month. that's He target anyway.

Hi TC

I've been enjoying Eat Well for Less too. Can't decide whether I tune in because it's a useful programme or to feast my eyes on Chris Bavin!!!

Ahem!

I love the bit when the family say they don't like a product and it turns out to be the product they always buy! Proof that we buy what we always do / because the packet is nice, not because the product is any good. The savings they make are awesome.

Lol! Behave! :rotfl:
Yes, I like the bit where they don't like the product that hasn't been changed too. Yes, the savings are very impressive. The one I watched this morning was a family who spent over £300 a week! :eek: and there were only 4 of them. How can people spend that much!

Hi Brizzle. I had a very hectic weekend and...got no paperwork done!
It's been a mad couple of weeks and I'm going to get some paperwork done today-somehow.
