Hi 
This week I’ve spent at Co-0p £7.57= £110.83/£120.00. As you can see it brings me close to my grocery budget this month but I’ve stocked up my freezer.

£12.77 spent this week on fruit, veg and a couple of treats (chop chip cookies and a pasty - I blame the weather). I've decided to give up alcohol altogether for Lent but bought a bottle of posh soft drink for the weekend.

Another £41.64  spent at Iceland making it £236.38 till pay day in march.  So we are left with £88.62  for the next 2 weeks. My freezers are full, so unless we need milk,bread, fruit or veg we will be OK

OH on the shopping again this week - thank God I'll be back on it next week - he bought duplicates of stuff on the list, stuff that wasn't on the list and missed other things off 

£101.70 spent, £34.82 off list!!!
This leaves us at £390.32/£490 for the month with just 4 days to go!! I will probably order some meat during the week and might need eggs & milk etc, otherwise I'll be working on ways to use up the short dated items we now have 2 off!!

Well we did the OOD warehouse trip, was hoping for more choice but I guess it depends on what is available at the time. As there is only the 2 of us it wasnt  quite suited to our life style. Brill for families and plenty of savings to be made and make money go further. We spent £57, due to the tat we treat ourselves too I am on this occasion not going to use the grocery budget. We did do FFoods on the way back to the tune of £48.50. Did my Indian supermarket at £14.93 and some other bits from Booths for herbs and spice bits I am looking for approximately £8. I have clearly gone wrong here as there is £22.41 cash in the purse!!! I think my best plan next month is to actually take the cash purse with me and use it instead of paying me back
Payday is Friday, I will leave the left over in the purse till then as we only need milk and bread.

I'm close to my budget, but will need a few veggies and some milk this week, so might go slightly over. I've done better than I thought I would though, as I was a lot better stocked at the start of January than I was this month. I made my 1st ever soda bread on Saturday, and another one today which is sliced up and ready to go in freezer. Surprisingly, I'm enjoying this grocery budgeting. I feel more organised and in control, and I'm enjoying trying out new recipes.

Small spend of £7 today, on 3 bags of food from a affordable food charity. Will need to get milk tomorrow but otherwise that should be it.

Paid my neighbour £4 for cream she got for me in Waitflower so we had cheese and onion quiche for supper - got plenty left so same again tonight I think! We are at 15% of annual budget so what I would expect really
