    Why do you hide/alter the names of supermarkets? Are we not allowed to mention them?

    I moved out of my place yesterday and I'll spend this week at a friend's...so my food budget will be higher, given that I don't have all the things I need for cooking (they're mainly in the storage facility at the moment!). But, even including a take away for thanking my host and a breakfast for thanking the other friend that helped me moving, I'm still well below the budget with just £54 spent :T

    Some people like to change them so they don't show up in search engines; personal choice, no rule!

    Green (cheap) SM: 97.10 - our new weekly shop. Really good actually, especially for g/f things. Also some of their substitutions are great - couldn't do 10 potato waffles so sent an 18 pack instead...!
    Green (posh) SM: 17.58 - MSc labelled tuna, recycled toilet roll, the things the green (cheap) SM doesn't sell.
    Local shop: 16.58 (husband - must sit on him about that) ;)
    Coop: 9.32

    So £140.58 so far and two weekly shops in. That's ok, right? I think it is - as my budget is £80 pw - gives me a bit spare this week for extra eggs and bread.

    All the jacket potatoes were gone in Li*l so might get one/two through the week.

    Not sure which ones they were, but Aldi have some on their super 6, 35p I think, might be worth a look.

    Thanks for the heads up but I'd tried there first and then went to Li*l :rotfl: Oh well - maybe M&S or Morrys. It's strange isn't it, that just because I couldn't get any I now really, really fancy one with some chilli and cheese.


    On another NSD today :j


    Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday
