    Eighth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Lost my receipt last week!! But I know how much cash I added on as cashback so have made a guess at £10 household stuff (toiletries, cleaning) and added the rest, plus a £13 top-up during last week.

    Things a bit chaotic so ANOTHER topup yesterday of £4.40 (not yet added). Going to make a plan later today for the coming week before I hit the shops!

    Good news is my spinach and salad leaves have started to come up in the garden. Aiming to reduce chuck-out rate of wilted bags of salad :o

    Haven't been reading or posting much lately...been busy looking for a place and partying lol...

    Spent £46 so far, that includes plenty of sweets and lunches at work (how lazy). But now that I found my new place, I will do my best to be savvy again as the rent will be higher.

    I have sooo much food to finish before moving!!!

    Had my big Grocery delivery today, all the big items that are a pain to carry home, cleaning supplies etc. A few subs to send back, total £88.22

    Yesterday I did my first shop, came to £37.84 and today I did a shop to get a few fresh items and as I needed shampoo etc decided to take advantage of the 10 x points offer, total £22.32

    I did end up buying a lot of stuff for next week's menu. Yesterday I bought a YS chicken and roasted it to use for sandwiches/wraps, fed up of cheese sandwiches! Making stock now for future use.

    Hope you are all having a nice sunny weekend x

    A spend of £75 today. Stocked up on all our dairy items, fruit and veg, cupboard items, toiletries and cleaning items. Just our meat to get now which will be a small amount as we are trying to have a few veggie days a week, more for health than cost as I can usually get our meat cheap YS.
    £36/£240

    A spend of £4 on a load of YS salad and veg and also got some cooking bacon and some ys cheese.
    I'll turn most of it in to soup and have the salad for our lunches tomorrow. The cheese is already grated and frozen.
