    Happy to hear someone else is banned from YS too @Smoosh 🤣
    :joy: is it sad that I just love the thrill of YS shopping?! :lol:
    Nope. I too LOVE it! And food shopping in general. My husband thinks I’m nuts!
    You're in good company! :wink:

    From the top: Hot cross buns, daffodils (not strictly groceries but bought as part of grocery shop, so I'm counting them) milk, two pastries (desk breakfast Wednesday and another today) crisps and juice to go with Wednesday's sandwich at lunch (I did better today, I brought in a little paper bag with squares of dark chocolate, brazil nuts and raisins).

    Veg box including 2 venison steaks, balsamic glaze, blue cheese and milk (also broccoli, parsnips, potatoes, carrots, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, apples and blood oranges).

    Large bar of dark chocolate to break bits off for packed lunches, multipack of tinned tuna, green pesto and tinned tomatoes (buying these on the one et one in basis) tomatoes, mayonnaise, cucumber, bread. 

    I have £102.30 left and my meal plan until Thursday is egg, potatoes, broccoli and carrots tomorrow with lashings of balsamic as otherwise it's a tad bland, and pasta with tinned tomatoes. mushrooms and the last of the cheaper-than-parmesan cheese on Wednesday.

    I'm going up to my brothers for St Patrick's Day and the weekend so any alcohol or food eaten out will come from the holiday budget this week.
