Hi all,

Spent £68 over the weekend, as we had a new fridge freezer and needed to fill it up, this was between L!dl, Aldo and bookerz.

Hoping to get to payday not spending anymore, but may need milk and cat food....

A spend today of just under £36 on cupboard staples and fruit and veg. I will need to grab a few more things tomorrow and that should be us done for a week or so.
I'm going to struggle to keep within target this month as I'd used up so many back stocks last month.
Our month runs until the 13th so I have a lot of month left :eek:

SC went on this morning with 25% off waitrose chicken (thought it was a bargain until I compared with Mr T, but the quality is probably better) Quinoa, butternut squash and some spices.

Delicious slightly curried chicken. Recipe says serves 6. It will be divided up for freezing to do 10! Not bad for 500g of chicken.

Not sure where I am going to put it though. The freezer is FULL.

25th of the month and over £16 odd left in my food purse.Jolly pleased with the outcome of this month's budget as I have been away for a week and brought home some delicous stuff from where I was staying in a little market town in Staffordshire. No shopping needed this week New Month starts soon

Well, so much for not spending any more this month - after I posted (above) popped to the loo, to find that someone has used LOADS of loo rolls, put 4 in the bathroom and ensuite on Saturday, only one left in each - Grrrrr.....

Anyhow - spend £18.80 as I got other 'bits' too

Bought some chicken thighs in Iceland - had a funny smell and did not taste great, so ended up in the bin. £3 wasted... Although I am still within my budget; will spend whatever is left on stocking up for next month.

couldn't take it! went MAD and spent the contents of the coppers jar! £5.96

- bag salad
- bagels
- crumpets
- vitalite
- apples
- hummus
- 6 veg grills
- peanut butter
- bananas
- wraps
- a lime

Which I think was ok for the money. Not the worst splurge ever!
