Hello everyone,

DH messaged me from work today and asked if I wanted him to go food shopping on the way home to save us a job tomorrow. So I sent him the list and he didn't do too badly to be fair! He mostly stuck to the list I messaged to him, and only got a few extras of the same item (old habits die hard!). So a total spend of £6 in sainos and then £39.25 in l!dls! We still need a squash, olive oil and eggs however I may try to manage with the coconut oil I already have in.

Putting us at £115.78/ £250 for January.

Tescos delivery arrived today with a split bag of sugar and without toilet rolls!!! I am about to find out how long tesco toilet rolls really last!We are down to one double one in both loos. 😱. I th8nk they should be ok until next month. Tescos have been brilliant with refunds so only £51.08 spent today.

spent so far- $24.19 + 48.20 @Asian Market + $19.91 @ whole foods = $92.30/$400. 

I got some lovely asian produce--korean pears, chive flowers, karambola, baby bok choi.  Meals will def have an Asian flair here this week.  I got 3 pears--I will use 1 and grate the other 2 and freeze them for future kalbi.  I'll be doing a little shifting around in the menu plan but it's ok.  I want to use my chive flowers this weekend so they don't go bad. 

I still have a small Kroger order coming in the morning.  We're all set for next week.

Our first main shop yesterday started in Aldi £43.40, then to Morrisons where we spent £14.59 but saved £4.47 on Quorn products for DH (on offer at 3 for £3). Finally to Tesco, £35.04 inc £3.16 on stuff for the food bank. Total £93.03, will last us at least two weeks.
We've already spent £101.52 which leaves £78.48 for the rest of the month.

Quick nip out to the coop on Friday for milk, bread, apples, and, er, some less healthy snacks; £4. The membership discount offers each week are actually pretty decent so if I could be more sensible and stop buying snacks it would’ve been a very economical shop. 

Total now £39.2/£150
