£36.21 spent this morning, between the butchers, the bakers and the candlestick-makers - oops, no, that'd be the supermarket! More to go tomorrow at the market, but I'm well on target, though there's one less adult here full-time than I was allowing for when I set the target! However he will be back very soon, and DD1's boyfriend has manfully stepped up to the mark & eaten quite a lot of what I'd allowed for DS3!

Hey y’all, one spend to report. Tonight OH went to M & S to get milk and few other things: yoghurt, a pepperoni pizza, a plain pizza base for later, apples, raspberries, and a chocolate dessert I never even saw enter the house because he ate it so fast while I was in a meeting! We had the pepperoni pizza for dinner and the mister glammed it up a bit by adding red peppers, tomatoes, and onions. 

£15.00 exactly spent!

£275.47 / £300 total spent

I’m glad we’ve been able to keep our hands in our pockets until this evening this week. As I mentioned before, I’ll likely visit the bigger Lidl in town this weekend. We’re also planning to visit a farm shop on the edge of town too so may save the veg shopping for there.

£50 spent at the market this morning, on fish, cheese, fruit & veg for the week, leaving me £79 for the rest of March. Which should be totally do-able, so why do I feel a little anxious now...?

Hope everyone is well, I did spend a couple of pound on a lot of YS (got really lucky as all stuff I needed) thought I posted but lost it. I have £21.00 to go for the last week which I shall shop for tomorrow. Mr L I suspect. Cooked a small ham (well gammon thing) so that sorts out today for us.
Seem to be quite well stocked up for a change.

I just had an exciting thought...I managed to get through the week without having to top up the shopping.  That means under £50 spent this week 😇  Basically I couldn't be bothered to go to the shops so I jigged the meal plan using what we had in.  I feel dead smug 😏

Well done.  Definitely the way to go.

So far this month I've spent £55.78, leaving £19.22 in the budget until the end of the month.  I should only need milk  bread and fruit but have said that before and then got mugged by the cake or cheese counter (or both).

Had a few spends, amounting to £15.83.  Got plant milk, a load of salad stuff, avocados and a ton of bananas, plus tonic water.  A couple of litre bottles of Tanqueray gin, were delivered accidentally with the shopping about a year ago.  Yes, I kept them, naughty me.  I might have a little tipple to celebrate Arsenal going through & Tottenham not (shame) in the Europa cup.  Been on overkill, making dips and living out of stores, really enjoying making stuff I wouldn't normally.  Might have a bash at making some dahl.  I've never made it before.  Also found a couple of tins of banana blossom at the back of the cupboared.  Think I bought them to make vegan fish.  Any fellow vegans made dairy free yoghurt in an instant pot?   Do you have a recipe??  Happy shopping.
