Aiming for 3 NSD's which will be tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.
Been to the shops loads this week - I think I could make it to next week but will take it 3 days 1st as will need milk after these xLiving the simple life0 -
Added $80.48 to my balance. I stocked up on meat, fish and butter, all of it on sale. We also found a 2/1 sale on vitamins we use but this is not part of the grocery money. A very thrifty day. :money:Overprepare, then go with the flow.

Made tuna pasta bake today. I made it with a cheese, wine and herb sauce and added some cooked leeks and broccoli. It was rather yummy and will certainly do it again
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

spends of £17 yesterday. got enough washing/washing up stuff for a few months now! x0

£2 spent yesterday on a dozen eggs from the local farm and £29.01 in Waitrose, £10 on dog food and the rest on we humans. As I have front loaded on several items, I think I will almost certainly go over budget this month so I am going to aim for an average of £250 a month. My budget for June therefore will be less my overspend for May, if that makes sense.
Having said that, I will try my best to stay on target this month.
£144.15/£250.

Hi,
Well blew my mini budget at Aldo, expected spend £30, actual spend £39.60.
The additional amount was on washing powder (£2.25)which I'd forgotten to add to list, hayfever tabs X 2 (£1.78)as men in my life are snotty messesand Yorkshire tbags as they were 50% free and we were running low (£2.29) and salmon Wellington (£3.99) which 'fell' into my trolley :whistle:
So that all adds up to £10.61, so it would have cost £28.99. IF I,d stuck to my listNote to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!
£300/£1300 -
NSD today hoping for one tomorrow too as we really dont need much - maybe milk later on in the week but that should be it!Living the simple life0
