Spent my Lidl voucher this morning mainly on noodles for the food bank, milk, dog food, cereal and some fruit and bits for DS pack lunch for a school trip on Friday. Also bought some wine, snacks and a choc santa to put away for Christmas only for the wine to roll out of the bag and crush poor santa who will now not make it to christmas

I don't normally shop in Lidl but spotted today that they stock my favourite type of GF bread!:)

Spent 10.00 approx on M&S reduced stuff at the petrol station on bits and bobs. it was a bit of an unplanned spend Total now at 132.83/250 - half of budget gone and it's not half way through the month !!!

Had my Tesco delivery last night @£44, just under £100 left for the month. I've been a bit lax with the meal planning but will have to sort that now...

Monthly Tesco shop came today, has included Christmas bit's and furry owners food, litter and treats, so a scary £107.73 to add.
Just need to go to Lidl this week end to stock up on OH's coffee and milk and fingers crossed I can keep out of the shops for a week, seeing as over half my money has been spent.

126.73 spent of £150 budget As previously stated the £150 was a guess. however, had a pretty upsetting week last week resulting in a bit of retail therapy Clothes have all been returned :T Obviously the food can't be:o

Spent £61.72 this week - £16+ was cat food - we are feeding more than ours at the moment.
Quite a bit - £20+ possibly? spent on reduced food items to make several meals with - already made 24 meals using some of the items and plenty left to make some more. Plus some were jars where you add only a bit for flavouring - the best prices i have seen these at as were reduced to half price or less :T

Also, went over to a different town where they have a shop we don't have here - bought bags of lentils for the cheapest i've seen.

Still disappointed with myself :( No chance of coming in on budget simply because the cat food is so expensive. i will be buying more tonight, we have tried them on cheaper but they do not eat it.

i will continue to post because it is good for me to do so. I will limit the rest of the months spends as far as possible and i will set the same target for December of £150 when we get there & aim to come in under it - no treats this year

Thank you all for posting - this is a great thread and inspiring to read :T

Analysed receipts. Realised £1 clothing spend had been included so updated above.

Cat Food £16.24
Reduced Food £22.60

I bought a couple of needed toiletries, food bags £2.76

Rest of items were a couple of bits needed for a recipe and the storecupboard staples - tins and lentils.

Other than fresh bits & as things are used up which are essentials then nothing else will be needed this year.
