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 saladGC Feb 2019 (to 10th) £397.07/£3000 -
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!!!0 -
Didn't do a big shop last week but added up the small spends through the week and spent 34.
Bigger shop this week split between Aldo and asd@ spent 96 eek bit more than expected0 -
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 xStay at home Mum to DS Oct 2011 and DD Dec 2013
