Spent £8.53p today. I needed some more Nutritional yeast and also picked up a couple of solid shampoo bars whilst I was at the health food shop (one to put away for our holiday hamper)

Trying to reduce our plastic usage a bit and each bar is £2.62p, but they each last at least 3 times longer than a big bottle of shampoo, so less than £1 a bottle, natural and no plastic waste

Off to update sig now, have a nice evening everyone!

Someone mentioned scoring a whole load of fresh coriander. You can always do what I do: wash well, chop, and freeze loosely in a large ziploc bag.

That was me. Freeze OMG - never even occurred. Thank you - n wishing you better.

I use shampoo bars too, mainly to save plastic but mine has lasted ages too - where did you get yours from? I'll need a new one soon and not sure whether to use Lush again or try somewhere different
I did buy a conditioner bar too but it didn't work and ended up using it as expensive soap!

Declaring June on £356.77/£400.00
Extremely pleased with that as it helps with the annual total that was stretched somewhat during April/may.
Garden has started to produce fruit and veg now so hopefully I can stay on track during July.
See you over on the new thread.

Small spend on Tuesday (need to hunt out receipt) NSD yesterday & will need bread n milk today (plus a few other bits) have to wait until the 30th to declare as that is payday for me.
I'm really hoping to keep on track, only a few days to go!
