    Popped in Asda spent £15-18, 16 bottles of tonic water, last over a month, salad items, eggs and saw some 85% choc reduced to 75p a bar so got 6.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Popping on to declare for April, can't find the old thread but I expect it's quiet on there as you are all here :)

    £298.08 out of £300 with 14 NSDs feeling pleased with that. DH helped by picking up YS meat on his way home on some nights, I still have some left so am going to add it to my May budget. I've written a freezer list and put prices next to the YS items, haven't done it with the other meat as I added it to the April budget already.

    Plan now is to meal plan, I'm thinking of having a slightly structured week so; one roast, one or two new meals made from leftover meat, a mince night, a fakeaway night, a veggie night and a fish night, this might help with my online shop and of course my meat shop :D

    Starting my May budget tomorrow.

    Hi everyone. Second shop of May was a fairly successful £29.14 which included dog food. The only other expense was some milk that we needed midweek.
    I need some yogurts from Asda but im hoping that I won't need to go near the shops for a week as I have lots of fresh and frozen fruit and I put an extra 4 pints of milk in the freezer to make sure we don't run out again.

    £300/£130
  • Feeling pretty chuffed so far :)

    shopped on Monday as 'ADSA' are shop names not allowed btw?:eek:
    £16.16
    Took out the £20 from cash machine before I went in which helped! :)
    Spent the remaining on my tea at work on Wed night + cat food

    Going well so far, have also quit smoking from Tuesday.. touch wood that is going really well, amazing how much you save just by the fact you don't need to go to shop to buy cigs!

    Hope everyone else having a good Thursday :T

    Doing well so far - it helps that I'm staying away with family and DH isn't at home either. £62.48, but too much drinks/indulging. I have a Musclefood order arriving on 25th. £55 but was 115 before discount. I need some space in the freezer though��

    I think I'm going to try to cut out the Pepsi Max. It costs about £30 a month - I can easily go through 4 cans a day. I'll have to start slowly though.
