£50 spent on an online shop from sainsbugs- as dh is still working from home we don't get anywhere near a health food shop at the moment but thankfully sainsbugs does my vegan butter! 🙌 I've never done a supermarket online shop before so I'm hoping it goes okay 😂

£2.74 spent since last post.

OH dinner (today and tomorrow) - Beef and vegetable stir fry with noodles.
My dinner (today and tomorrow) - Vegetable tofu red Thai curry with glass noodles.

Sunday we are having BBQ, though we may have to do it in the oven and/or on the hob as it is supposed to rain.
OHs BBQ meal - home made burgers, sausages, potato salad and coleslaw.
My BBQ meal - meatless co burger and sausages (both from the freezer and bought when reduced), vegan potato salad, vegan coleslaw.

Shouldn't need to shop again this week. We have an A&C delivery coming Monday which at the moment totals £36.45 out of the budget.

£125.90/£300.
£174.10 left.

£2.00 spent today in Poundland on coffee. Doing really well with grocery shopping, still got some veg in fridge from monthly shop but needs using up so it's chicken stir fry today. 

£27.16 to last for next two weeks, have concentrated on buying veg that keeps well in fridge and cupboard and haven't even touched frozen veg yet.  Fingers crossed I won't need to go shopping for at least another week..

HB 20.77 
 £l 4
 and Morries 15  this week 
 so 116/200  at end of 1st week  obv way  over  budget  but  freezer full  so I need kick my butt n do some  eat from freezer/cupboard days 

the biggest splurge is the non-alcoholic beer for himself as a recovering alcoholic he still drinking in a disordered fashion just with non-alcoholic beer instead of real stuff  I'm about a £20 a week at least for this and my disordered thinking is well if he can get that I can get treats too n buying take out and chocolate is my go-to sigh this adulting isn't easy, is it?

June budget is not going too well either ☹️  So far £101.15 in tosco at the beginning of the month, £10.35 in Sainsbury’s and then another £36.21 in tosco on Friday!  That only leaves me £52.29 for the rest of the month, although realistically I’m expecting to come in nearer £75.  I have decided to revert to Aldee and home bargains as I’m hoping the queues won’t be as long now.  I’ve avoided so far as smaller stores and I have to take my 7 year old with me (single parent).  I’m afraid for the sake of my budget he will have to patiently queue!

Hubby went to A6da at 9pm last night with detailed shopping list. £187. 66p This includes toiletries and cleaning products. 3 things on the list he couldn't get so not bad.

Farm f66ds £29.56
Total of £248.48. 


Picked up dogs dried food and their tins of wet food will be delivered next Friday. Roughly £76. Will add definite figures later but dog food is separate to food shop.

I'm determined to stick to my budget this month, n use up what I've got, rather than hoard food as I've been doing during lock down  
I only spent £25 this week, n still have loads in

I always think of hoarding food as paying the supermarkets to store their stuff for them. Providing you have a basic store cupboard you should always be able to swap ingredients around to make recipes work for you.

We have spent £2.84 so far but I have despatched DH with a big list this morning, trying to minimise the places for him to go. He won't shop (except for milk) for another ten days after this so some making do and substitutions will be needed.
