Hi everyone,
the spends are mounting up. Went to SM today for oil, eggs and cheerse, also came out with 2 packs of chicken reduced from £4 to 99p and 2 packs of sauasges each 79p. Seem rude not to take them, and so into the freezer they go.
New total £212.64This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I am always impressed with the posters who get YS goods for pennies. They don't seem to do that in the sm's round here, unless I am just unlucky or don't go at the right times. However, I have not got a freezer so have to cook or eat stuff straight away.
Any road up, I spent £39.76 on weekly shop yesterday, including a big pack of toilet rolls and a cook-your-own chinese takeway. I am taking the money for the latter from my treats fund.

Hi everyone - I have had a few spends, amounting to £30 odd, have added to my sig. £9.80 of that was a take away - very nice, but really not worth it. Am getting rid of lots of freezer food, due to a change in diet, so am trying to cook for the freezer as I go along. Did a load of broccoli and spinach soup yesterday, Tesco selling 2 (rather small) broccoli for 39p, so grabbed some. Im off to Glastonbury Tuesday until the next Monday (hope it stops bloody raining), and I get all my food included - anything else will be treats that i'm not including - treating it as a holiday as im not having one, but I will as ever be frugal. Have a lovely weekend everyone.0

NSD yday
do you count it towards your grocery spend if you go shopping and pay in tesco clubcard vouchers? Technically it didn't cost you anything, right?
