March 2020 Grocery Challenge

I too am a single lady, seems quite a few on here, it comes with it`s own difficulties as it can be quite expensive buying smaller amounts.

Emojis appear either by typing a colon : followed by random letters of the alphabet.  Or by clicking the smiley face above.  If you type on your mobile and include those in your posts they then appear in the smiley face above.

Popped to Marks yesterday and spent another £14.03 on groceries (mainly some stocks for when our baby grandchild visits) and they didn't have ginger so 23p of that was spent in Mr S when getting fuel.
another £22.54 has gone out the toiletries budget but again is things for our baby grandchild but taken out of our budgets as not planned for at the beginning of the month.  Have discussed with Mr M_F setting the grandchild up their own category in Ynab so we keep track on what we are spending. 
Running totals for March in signature.

Hi MrsSnowy
I found out how to change colours. You have to use press the </> (html) button - its one of the symbols above the comment box. Then you use the html symbols < > at the start and finish of the sentence you wish to colour. But insert in between them at the start of the sentence: font color="red" (or whatever colour you want). Then at the end of the sentence use the same symbols but insert in between them /font. For some reason though, adding html to the comment means it doesn't recognise my line spaces now. Another one to look up.

Impromptu extra £3.67 spend as I went to the greengrocers and got some veg to make a soup with the leftover chicken I had, will freeze all of this for another day so it’s already made up into quick, healthy meals. Could have got it cheaper at the supermarket but that was a longer drive.  £48/£125

I've had my first spend of this month's grocery budget - £1.75 on baking potatoes (needed) and flipz chocolate pretzels (not needed 🙈)

Have i done it wrong or is it that no html on mobile?

That's right.  I haven't tried it on mobile, but on the PC you have to select the </> button (its top right above the comments box) before you type it in.
