Updated my sig and then checked my spend per day compared to target spend per day (£52.24 over ten days = £5.22 per day, £220 over 31 days = £7.09 per day). So looks good right now but meal planning and shopping for the week later will push that up a lot. Does anyone else do this or have I finally lost it?

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend x

I hadn't thought of calculating the spend per day, that's really interesting (another column on my spreadsheet beckons!). The last week of the month tends to be a "what I call" Ready Steady Cook week in our house - bizarre meals made from whatever is lurking in the fridge, freezer and storecupboard. Nothing inedible so far, although some of my omelettes have been interesting!

so far this month we have only spent £65 as husband has not ventured off to do a big shop. We seem to have a two freezers full and several cupboards full. Im hoping to do a store and freezer challenge and just buy fresh stuff for the rest of the month. Only problem is we do like ys products in our local Booths.
