NSD 4 today. Was nearly a fail as baby was being a nightmare and I was very tempted to buy pizza, but I was good and made macaroni instead.

NSD 3 for me today. Cheap bread at work and succumbing to the coffee shop ( to be fair it wasn’t my fault because they changed my rota and hadn’t made sure I knew so I had an hour to waste)

Hi everyone, hope I can join also!

I started my NSD challenge on 1st January. I don't count groceries (food/cleaning/pets/hygiene) or bills so I am on NSD 8!

My weak spot is books. However, when I had a wobble yesterday I placed the book on the "watchlist" instead...crisis averted!

Food shopping today but I only bought what I actually need. All we need during the week is milk.

I have found that having kindle unlimited helps - I got 6 months for £22 something a while back. Not sure if I will keep it once this period is up, but there are an awful lot of books available to read for no extra cost.

Ah awesome. I am trying 'libby', my library in the SE has it and so I can get loads of e-books and audio straight from that, but, I work with screens and so physical books were my get-a-way. I agree though about leaving and coming back. I had a wish list last year and just before Xmas decided to go through it, around 50 books and the list is now 5!!

The 99p Kindle books are a magnet for me. I’m trying to only buy them this year if they are on my wishlist. I probably have some unread from several years back.

I am president of our local Friends of the Library group which puts on monthly book sales of books we can't fit in our tiny in-library book store. We sell them for 10 cents to 25 cents each (about 7p to 18p) and I usually end up getting a box at a time. Try to remember to take some back after I've read them or donate to another library, but I use some of them for reference books. It only costs me about $2.00, but the space at home is getting be a problem.

i like real books rather than kindle!  I buy second hand if i can.  
I have acheived another NSD today, acheived thanks to a visit from my step mum who wanted a few things from the c00p and paid for a couple of things for me at the same time
