Snowing again here - looked at weather forecast and seems to be Monday before temperatures rise. So looks like we will miss out a weekly shopping trip this challenge. Down to tinned fruit now and getting short of potatoes.

Thanks very much @Suffolk_lass.  Just one last thing, Is there a quick way to get to your bookmarked pages.  Sorry, I'm used to the old forum layout.  Noticed there was a favourites folder, but how do you put things in it.

Spent £20.18 on a load of old toot really.  Storecupboard ingredients.  Really don't need much.

Maybe see if there is a neighbour who could bring some or a local volunteer? We have a community emergency planning group and popped postcards with our numbers on through all the doors and ring our residents about once a fortnight - and a local chap has started delivering fruit and veg boxes here

@Save_Dosh After you have bookmarked the threads you want to, use the pennant shaped symbol next to your profile (top right on this device) and then choose all bookmarks from the drop down. It will list them all with nice coloured (maybe purple) flags of the number of new posts since you last looked. I only know how to unbookmark them by being in the thread (same as bookmark)

No milk delivered on Tuesday but fortunately DH picked up a gold top Jersey bottle in the SM on Monday (all that was left) and my lovely milkman delivered double this morning (at 02.00!). Very cold here and a bit more snow yesterday evening - still a good 15cm deep here.

So I will bake treats today and despatch to the local hospital with my neighbour who works there. Apparently the nurses really enjoyed the last lot with a lot fewer people still sending in boxes of thanks this time.

Total spend of £42.46 at MrT, should see us into early next week when I'll do a shop to last half term. Does include some creme eggs for donating to the local hospice for their easter appeal and some treats for the kids over the weekend. 
@Florenceem could you ask a neighbour to collect a few bits for you to save you struggling in this weather. 
I've made bolagnese for tea tonight but only needed half the mince, so will use the other half tomorrow to make a cottage pie (may eat it but may freeze it for another day). Managed to pick up some parsnips last night from Oli0 so will use those to bulk up the cottage pie.

Hi,
Just checking in with a £6 spend yesterday on some milk, toothpaste and toothbrushes and bits for lunches. A refund of £1.65 from Shopmium puts the total at £4.35/£180 for February.

How does the shopmium work? I have downloaded it but not sure if you go shopping can you buy and claim back more than 1 thing at a time? or does it have to be separate transactions?

Yes, you can claim multiple offers on one receipt 😁
