MissRikki isn't it interesting how we can change behaviours when saving money but need to create new habits.  So instead of spending on bananas for a cake you used what you had.  One of the amazing people on the forum calls this shopping from home and it saves a fortune!  In the past I wouldn't just have bought bananas I would have bought the cake and probably biscuits!  I once spent £30 on a rainbow cake from a posh supermarket - I literally bought a whole cake from the coffee shop 😱.  It was a beautiful cake and very yummy but seriously .... no wonder I had no money.
loveactually - weekend is going well so far.  Home made pizza for tonight's fakeaway. Even better my OH is making it!  

You’re so right, I do usually shop from home first in that I stock take and then meal plan using those ingredients first however I just didn’t even consider the lemons!! 

We had homemade pizza too Friday then sausage Ragu with garlic bread last night. We haven’t not had a take away for as long as I can remember at a weekend and this weekend was hard. My hub asked me twice could we have one which makes it harder to say no as it’s not him doing all the extra work to sort stuff out. 

That said, I’ve agreed to a chippy dinner this Friday 🤪

NSD 1 for this week. Was very tempted to eat something sweet after my lunch break at college today. Just stopped myself and had an apple instead which I took from home. Saved some money and calories. 

Feeling a bit ‘meh’ today don’t know why just down. Tired May be

Well done on resisting the sweet treats! That's often my downfall too - after lunch I crave something sweet so impulse buy a chocolate. You've got more willpower than me, I need to get better!

Sorry to hear that you feel down. Hope you feel better tomorrow!
