    Raining today so I decided I don't need mushrooms in my stir-fry, so a NSD today. Tomorrow I will need the mushrooms for my spag bol, I am making it from leftover roast beef so will be adding veg and mushrooms to bulk it out. As I am out anyway I will do a small shop then.

    Have a great day all x

    Up to £147.48 now. Managed to stick to my list in the shop but did pay more than I wanted. It was the closest shop on a busy night for me so I paid for convenience. I'm still happy at being just over £100 under budget though at this point in the month :)

    2.39 on onions, tomatoes and creme fraiche. I can now make soup with some bendy veg and I've got two packs of baby plum tomatoes,which I love, before super 6 changes tomorrow.
    I'll need milk and fruit this weekend but that's all and its pay day next week and given what's on my list for my last big shop of the month I'm hoping I might be under (fingers crossed). I'm keeping away from temptation to try and help things along:)

    Evening all


    Seem to be having a spendy week atm. Mr T = £8.84.


    Think it's probably having DH drastically change his working hours. This means that I have to send him to work with a dinner he can micro and then I have my dinner on my own. This is Sunday-Thursday every week and alternate Fridays.


    So I'm 'fessing up to having a few meals that I like and DH won't eat - hence buying some things I don't usually buy/have in stock. I'm hoping it will all sort out in the wash in a couple of weeks :rotfl:


    Hope you all have a thrifty Thursday

    I'm off to the supermarkets later tonight for my first YS shop. Not gone late purposefully for this before so fingers crossed that it's a successful trip! I've also got a £5 voucher from Morrissons so that will help :)

    Popped to the shops today and stuck to my list other than picking a pineapple up from the Super 6, resisted buying mocha sachets though I wanted them as the money in my purse can go in my pot instead. Tomorrow, or the next shopping day I will get £30 out for the week.
