Morning all
I'm still here and updating my sig I've just been quite busy so haven't posted properly for a while.
Still working on using up where I can and making the most of YS stuff so meal plan after I've done the Saturday shop where I get the reduced fruit and veggies.
Hope all are well.SPC~12 ot 124

Hi ladies and gents,
Can I join you for April. I have a ridiculously overstocked cupboard/fridge and freezer and therefore I have set myself a ten/fifteen pounds a week budget for the month. I should only have to buy bread/coffee and some fruit and veg so hopefully I should be able to do this and not sacrifice quality food.
Thanks x0 -
Spent £5.04 on YS bread, sausages and fish - taken off next week's budget but worth it. Will freeze it for later.0

Delivery of big shop and sure enough March budget now exceeded! Dash it all, where is my restraint????
Oh well I can begin again in april0 -

Aldi has reduced all the above to just 25p :j That should help our budgets a little. I love a price war. I;ll stock up on them and prepare a load for the freezer.
Many thanks to the original posters :A£36/£240
