Another £47 spent at the orange logo shop this afternoon, which brings total spend to almost £90 this week, and it was the same story last week. Not great as I am aiming for £60/week. I have bought dishwasher tabs, loo rolls, and cat food for an extra week so some of the additional spend is there, but I will have to seriously rein it in the last two weeks to bring it back to £60/week average. Its do-able so I'm not giving up. 💪💪💪OSWL (start 13st) by 30Jun20 6/10

£14.55 spent today on mainly nothing. Completely thrown out whack by a bad cold so going to have to do a big shop midweek to properly catch up.
Gratified to see I'm not the only one buying chocolate that wasn't really on the list, though - makes me feel a bit better.Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056

Another week done, including the tesco stock up and we're £20 down on this time last month, aim is £30 reduction in month so happy with that.
I will probably have to do a Musclefood order this month (tends to be quarterly) which I'll exclude as although it does impact on overall spend I'd rather compare like with like and work on the monthly stuff first.June Grocery Challenge £0/£250
