    Morning all! :wave:

    Loving being back on the challenge. Day two and I just bought the last of my shopping for the week (all going well)... Spent £2.99 at the R@nge on laundry detergent and black pepper and £16.22p in Mr T's on basics like soya milk, juice, soya yogurts (on offer, thankfully!), coffee and some other bits to see us through the week...

    So that's £19.21p today and £25.78p for the week. I'm putting the remaining £34.22p away as I'm hoping to build a little emergency cash pot. I also put my card holder away in a safe place, so I can't be tempted to spend additional money. :p

    Here's to NSD's from here til next week! :A

    It's been a while since I did this challenge, and I've noticed that things are getting a little spendy of late, so I need to get back on track. £200 for three people and one dog, to include all food, toiletries and household products.

    I've just done my first shop for the month (which includes all the dog's food for the whole month) and so am currently at £71.33/£200

    OMG! How come ive only just found out about my supermarket website which is a price comparison!!!. Just put my weekly shop into it and ASDA comes back at £43, id usually go Sainsbury, but they quoted £48!


    Printed off my list and il be going Asda tomorrow Morning! i need to get with the times lol


    Does anyone else use it?
    I use it for the mail alerts when something I use a lot of on offer, e.g. Ariel Liquid 3 for £10 at Morries, I get those for myself and 2 friends, as they are car less. and a few other bits and bobs I use regularly.
    Do I need it or just want it.
  • Good morning everyone

    Morning all, just here to wish you all a happy weekend and to log myself a NSD :)

    Just had some lovely HM bean burgers... just a tin of value kidney beans and a grated carrot, with a flax "egg" and some herbs and spices blitzed up in a food processor, breadcrumbed and lightly fried. Had them in some of the YS buns I picked up the other day :) Actually delish!
