    Petrol for me is part of the essential bills.

    Yay. Only £40.46 to add, and that should do 2 weeks other than F&V and milk. Maybe!

    Evening All,
    Monday evening did my shop and spent £46.80 in Aldi and £14.23 in T's. Totally ran out of dishwasher tablets today so called into B&M for a large bag of 67 tablets and a packet of vegetable stock cubes and spent £8.98. Signature updated. Pleased with how I'm spending so far, just got to keep it up

    Hi,
    Spent £45 on petrol today. Do others put this under groceries or have a car related category. Not really an expense I can avoid so maybe part of essential like bills??? Hmmmm?

    Petrol is in my car budget :)


    BTW - I don't have a dishwasher but months ago I read somewhere that you can use half a tablet a wash and it works just as well. Don't know if anyone wants to give it a try and save a few more pennies ??


    Had another NSD today. We had HM lasagne (freezer) with tomato and onion salad, grated carrots and DH had some garlic bread.


    Hope you all have a thrifty Thursday

    Home delivery from T3sco yesterday at £61.47. Included a cheeky bottle of wine as my birthday is at the weekend :-) I can't believe how much eal planning for the month in advance is helping although I've hardly bought any meat as my freezer was very full..

    Hope you're all having a great week. Off to update my signature x

    2 grocery spends so far...and our meal plan has been updated by a quick stock-take. :)

    Next grocery shop is organised for delivery Wed. 17th.

    I can't believe how well it's gone so far this month - hopefully we can keep it up. :T

    Keep going everyone!
