Hi
Three NSDs this week, thus far. Today I need tram fare, appointment in town but still cheaper (and better environmentally!) than car parking. Otherwise picking up fresh veg today should come in under £5 if I can pick up some cheapies in MTs. Under budget for the month need to keep it that way.

Note to self: keep receipts for a certain amount of time before disposing of them.

I don't have access to a secure network at the moment (connectivity problems at home), so the wise course of action is not to check my bank statements online. Worse still, I have shredded my receipts because they had my name and card details on them. I'd guestimate that I've spent £35-40 since my last update. I certainly haven't gone above £50, and have enough of everything except milk to get me through to the end of my February, so Provided that I avoid eating out this week I'll hit target.

Capital P in "Provided" very deliberate, have been a little slack over takeaways the past couple of weeks, and unlike on previous occasions there was no good reason. Have been very busy, but have not gone away or been in situations where a packed lunch wasn't practical.

I spent £3.50 yesterday and £8.53 today. I need more nsds, but boys keep eating and drinking all the bread and milk.:mad:

£7.74 spent in Mr S tonight on milk, bananas, crisps and some bits for DH fishing trip pack tomorrow. I did use £10 of DH n3ctar points to keep the balance down.

I also bought 2 big packs of Qu0rn mince which was half price. I haven't bought this for years until DH spotted it is now GLUTEN FREE :j:D:j:D

I was veggie until diagnosed coeliac and absolutely hate beef mince. I can have shepherds pie for the first time in years

The chicken pieces are GF too.
