    Afternoon - just popping on to report I have already spent nearly half my budget - but we are well stocked in both cupboards and freezer and I need only ten more main meals to last until the end of July.
    Hoping my new account ( raising £5 a month if I spend £100 on contactless card) will help me to be more careful with the budget!! Watch this space!
    July 16 £95/£200
    Nov 16 £0/£200

    I spent £97.27 on a main shop and a few extras yesterday, so now at £97.27/£350.

    I've ordered some Ikea sliding shelves/baskets for my very chaotic pantry cupboard, which should help with keeping on top of stocks and staying on budget. They cost £59.50 though, so I'm hoping to scrape the cost back from the grocery budget over the next month or two.

    Loch Lomond market very disappointing. I had to buy the red onion I needed from the co-op. No F&V at all. So some lovely farm eggs and an onion £3.15. Eggs would have been cheaper in Aldi but I bet these will be nicer solo.

    £187.05 added to my total. Really not doing too well ��

    I have however stocked up on enough fabric conditioner and washing liquid to last me about a year.

    Started using receipt hog to take pictures of my receipts and get paid for it. Love free money :D

    I'm a blinking liability! I pop out for a few bits that we "need" and end up spending £33.13 on stuff I "want." Darn it. I think I need to leave my purse at home in future. Mind you dinner was lovely. Bbq chicken and ribs with salad, jacket spud, coleslaw and corn on the cob mmm. Plenty chicken left over for tomorrow night's dinner though. Now what to make???
    Edit to say signature updated.
