    DH popped in to Aldi yesterday, stocked up on some soya milk and cleaning products.  

    Grocery spending in June so far £91.05/£370 Can’t believe we are already half way through the month, and the figure doesn’t look not too bad actually😃

    £14.26 in A1D1, seem to be frittering money away when nothing really needed, looking at my receipt, everything went into the stores, except the y.s. tuna steaks, think I will freeze those as I do have most of a large chicken to eat.
    Got to go to pick my new specs up tomorrow, I park in T0sc0 car park, will try not to go in the store.
    Do I need it or just want it.
  • Good Afternoon!

    Another £9.43 to own up to spending. Much like pamsdish, the majority of spend was for storecupboard things, so a fine balance between 'do we need it', versus 'I'm here, there is some in stock, I shall get it'.  At least we are well off for fruit now, so I shouldn't really have to do anymore shopping until the normal shop next week.  

    I was planning on lentil bolognese for tonight's tea, but I think I will be better off using aubergine, courgette and tinned tomatoes to make a caponata style concoction, to utilise my veg stocks. I will look to serve with bulghar and the green beans from the veg box.  

    I noticed in MrA that they are re-branding the 'smartyprice' range.  I know I'm an auld luddite, but how I wish Sm's would just concentrate on having more of their existing valoo range on sale for more of the time........
