Hi

Can you put me down for £700 in September please?

I completely overshot my target in July while we were on holiday which left me disheartened for August but I'm back in the saddle for September 

Thank you

Spent £14 today. Stocked up on some Soya milk at Morres as they actually had the cheap cartons for  change! Also bought some Ricotta and garlic as found a recipe for courgette lasagne which will hopefully use up some of the allotment courgettes! Weather has been rubbish so DD and I baked some biscuits this afternoon. Didn't have caster sugar so just used the random sugars we had in the cupboard rather then going to the corner shop! 

£14/ £250 spent

Hi Elsiepac

Please put me down for £200 again. Even if I don't always manage to stick to it I'm sure I do better than if I don't set a budget. 

Incidentally, does anyone else buy dried soya mince? I usually get mine from Holland and Barrett but I've been into three different stores with no luck, and it's not in their online shop either. 

thanks,

Dmna

@diminua - I bought some soya mince last Saturday at a new to me Indian supermarket so if you have any shops like that near you it might be worth trying them. Beware though, I find the vast array of interesting ingredients invariably tempts me into spending money so keep tight hold of your purse!

@diminua - I think you can probably get it from Amazon - they seem to do lots of them.  Must admit I've always bought mine from H&B but haven't looked recently.

I've fallen at the first hurdle by being beguiled by delicious food in the supermarket and have spent a horrendous £14.75 in M*rks on apricot and fig rye bread, kimchi, sauerkraut, olives, 4x milk and baked beans. It doesn't seem much for the money and I've eaten quite a lot of it already, oh well, must plan better I think. Tomorrow's another day.
Total so far £14.75/£120 and average daily spend £14.75.

I think I'm going to change my target to £300 for this month please, classing it as a 5 week month so need a bit extra.

First weekly shop of the month today, spent £43 which I was very happy with. 

£43 / £300

OH went to the corner shop and spent £4 on milk and a drink for himself.

£18 / £250 spent

Made courgette lasagne tonight using 2 of the biggest courgettes from the allotment  really wanted some garlic bread to go with it but stopped myself going out to get some!
