played the petrol game ....1000 and 500.
might have another go tomorrow as there is a little more room in the tank than I thought.
my creative shopping trip cost me £5.95...not as bad as I expected it ...but I did load in some chocolate.
I need to be really careful about how I spend for the rest of the month...although some of the things I bought today will last months anyway...gravy granules ...they will last months but I used the last of the old tub last nightfrugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0 -

I can also confirm they did not compare to give the £1.89 brand match ah well it was good while it lasted xxx:TWe are many we are one xxx
So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.0 -
