Afternoon all

Spent another £7.35 on top up vegetables milk and bread and few YS xmas chocolate bars (snowballs) reduced to 16p have updated sig. DS1 off work for a week so menu plan bit skewed and milk and bread usage up!
Menu plan done up to Sunday - another one with no xmas leftovers as Sis hosted, will be different this year but have missed the usual turkey curry.....
Sausage and mash tonight with carrots and cabbage - DS1 has requested Y Puddings as well - have two eggs left - decisions decisions.
Grey and miserable here hope everyone has a lovely rest of day.

spent £27.51 in lidles yesterday, succumbed to some crisps as well as my weekly treat of cruspies, and dad wanted icecream lollies


I think I have £20ish left til the end of the month, i'll try to keep the amount minimal but I think I'll be over again this month.


happy belated birthday

Soworried

A spend of £8.11p today on fruit and fresh lunch things for the kids. I also needed cheese.

I only have 2 days left now which likely be NSDs and have loads of my budget left. I'm really pleased with this and have been mainly eating out of stores

candygirl

Spent £16 in ALDI yesterday, on bread, cheeses, fn v, eggs etc, so still waay under target this month :j

Islandmaid

Well!! So much for my £30 predicted spend....

I spent £54 quid at Aldi :eek:

This did include unplanned £20 including -
a load of dry cat food,
2 bottles of wine,
Ready made Curry and Rice (for DS to take back with him)
Olive oil

I also bought a big chicken when I only really needed a small one, but it'll all be used

Lauralozzle

Popped to shops to get some veg/fruit - ended up getting a bit more than I had intended BUT I don't think we'll need to go back for rest of the month - might just need milk but that should be it. Fridge is rammed, freezer is rammed - should last a good while!!

Spent £57.85 but that included a pregnancy test (which are never bloody cheap!) I'm not pregnant which is a relief

Now I'm at £263.04/£300 which is still under budget!
