Got 6 Sure deos as they were on offer and they're the only ones hubby & I use (general preference for him, but the only one I've ever found that stops me stinking! :eek: NOT lady-like.) Got 3 each...so that's us fresh as a daisy for the year at half the cost. :rotfl:
Also have Sains. delivery coming tomorrow with a £12 off and £3 off next shop voucher.
Just checked the cupboard/fridge/freezer stock against the monthly meal plan and we're on track. Week 1 almost complete. :T

Keep going everyone!

Needed a few things today so went to Morrys spent £14.39
Using a piece of pork for tomorrow that was brought for New Year that we ended up freezing as had lots of left over food that we used up.
Horrible weather here today so not going out again - wind is getting a bit stronger and its throwing it down with rain. Hope everyone stys warm and dry and that flooding doesn't become a problem again.

Afternoon on this rainy and windy Saturday afternoon.

Quick update to say that I've spent £61.08 this past week (Mixture of Sainsbugs and Abel & Cole meat). I've already got £11.25 penned in for some more meat this week but I had a £4 off code.

Total so far is £114.43 with two weeks left. I need to do a cat food order so that will be another £30 odd.

Need to have a look through the small freezer as I'm forgetting what is in there.

Well at the end of my first week I've spent £25.65. It's not too bad, in terms of the amount, but I'm annoyed with myself because at least a tenner of that was on non essentials. For such a tight month financially, I really need to be a little more organised to try and avoid the mid afternoon slump which invariably results in me buying a diet coke and a bag of crisps at work.

Hi folks


2nd shop of the month, with 2 more to go before payday. Total spend so far is £190/£350, did a huge shop today and stocked up on quite a few things we were running low on, so confident I will stay within budget.

Hi all

I've done my second week of shopping out of five. I had 375 for the month. Week one I spent 67.40 and week 2 I've spent 59.99 so I'm pleased with that. I haven't had a chance to read back so you may all be talking about this already bt I've seen lots of pics of the Asda wonky veg boxes and I'm impressed. I will see if I can get one, I only buy veg very cheaply from aldi anyway but I love the idea that this veg is being used and not being thrown by farmers. I think it will really take off.:beer:

Went to Mr S tonight as DH wanted beer (he pays) and spent too much on snacks/sweets and on fruit because silly me forgot to order oranges and asked for 1 banana instead of 5 on the Mr T order and some wonder web but forgot the pencil sharpener I needed.

DH didn't have his wallet so I couldn't use his nectar points but used the £2.50 I had available on my card. The till spits were good to us and I got a 53p brand match and won 1000 nectar points. The best one though was an £18 off £60 shop for first delivery.

I have signed DH up with his nectar card and have swapped my order on Thursday from Mr T to Mr S. I couldn't get everything so would still spend £5.50 in Mr T on frozen veg but the order (less GF beer I pay for) comes to £64.53 after discounts

I will have almost £55 for fruit, milk, bread and any other bits and bobs to last until pay day on the 29th

Just need to add £1 for a large pack of doughnuts. My bro and sil came over so we bought some to have with our cuppa. Could have been worse....
