Just had asda delivery so that and my mega spend at Aldi the other day means I've spent 193.95 so far.
116.05 left till march 25th.
Hopefully all cleaning stuff,toiletries dog food are now bought though. Have meal planned and bought bulk of food for first three weeks so just a few bits and fresh food to get. Final week of the month may be tight though especially as M.I.Law coming to stay over but everyone loves a challenge eh x

Need to look at the recipe ideas I think this month to get some inspiration.

Glenda

Could you please put me down for £150 again . That is for all meals for myself and my daughter. Toiletries and cleaning products.

I have been given a lovely slow cooker Mexican style recipe and last month I bought tinned kidney, black and cannelloni beans to use in the recipe. I was thinking it maybe more cost effective to buy dried?? Has anybody any experience using dried beans in cooking? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
