I include everything I buy in the supermarket in my GC budget so would be including washing powder, washing up liquid etc in this figure.

I include all cleaning products, toiletries, pet food and nappies in my budget, as well as food and drink whether from a supermarket, butcher, or other seller. I know some people have separate budgets for different categories, but this works best for me x

Snap! I don't have the patience for multiple budgets! :rotfl:

Yesterday would have been a NSD, however I popped into the shop for my parents and ended up buying some buttons for £1.... So close

Need milk, bread and water today. Possibly a couple of other bits. Will see how much I can keep away from the offers :rotfl:

Have a thrifty day everyone!

I wouldn't include buying buttons in my GC unless I bought them in the SM! Usually I'd use my personal spending money or my hobbies budget (if there was anything in it:rotfl:; I fund it every month). I use YNAB to budget and keep track of my money.

Wha if they were chocolate buttons?

Popped into Aldi yesterday for more of their lovely gala apples before the offer expires. They are sitting in the bottom of my fridge and I'm sure will stay fresh for at least a fortnight.

Add another £1.77 to my bill please.

Had another NSD yesterday and hoping not to do any more grocery shopping until I go to the next town to Lid! on Tuesday.

Did my shopping in Ald! & Mr Ts this morning. Pleased with this week's Super 6; they have baby Maris Pipers, carrots, broccoli, onions, savoy cabbage & swede. All at 39p. I didn't need potatoes & carrots as bought both last week but bought everything else.

Spent a total of £26.32. Pleased with that as I allow £50 a week but will also probably spend about £15 in Lid! next Tuesday.

My GC budget covers all household spending as well. I have separate budgets for wine and car and then we have our own small personal allowance to spend as we wish.


Today I went to Morrys and bought some YS stuff, special offers, top-up fruit and large yoghurt. DH went to F F**ds and bought sugar on way to get prescription. Total of £13.44 added to signature.


Hope you all have a fabulous Friday

£18.55 spent in M&S on frankly not a lot:eek:

Salads and chicken for DH dinner, a ys loaf, a punnet of grapes, 2 pots of soup and a GF loaf. I still keep thinking it's added up wrong but no it was just expensive.

Well been to Mr T's and got what I needed. Whilst in there DH rang and asked for razors which added £6.50 to my bill. I'm not complaining though because they last a month and I spend more on myself a month lol.

Also picked up 2 MASSIVE pumpkins for £3 for my party. Will try and pick up another 2 at the weekend before the offer goes off and there are only tiny ones left.

Anyway, total of £23.05 spend, will update total.
