  • Spend for February so far 96.64/350.00 apart from fridge and fresh veg I should be spending a lot less for rest of month cupboards and freezer full so I have no excuse.  Need to bake a lot more this month as only just managed to stay in budget last month.  Hope everyone is doing well

  • A couple more shops today after visiting Spec Savers for an eye test. I went to H & B to collect a bulk/subscribe and save order of almond butter which cost £12.80.

    While there I picked up some folic acid because I've recently tested very low and want to boost my levels. That's only £2.99 but it was 3 for 2 and looked around at what else I wanted and picked up a couple of no sugar chocolate bars I really like. The pills were the cheapest item so I got them for free but then the cashier told me I also had a £3.00 voucher on my account and so I used that too. I walked out only paying £3.58 for two big bars and the folic acid pills. Great results!!

    Next was M & S where I grabbed some items for my lunch today and for the rest of the house. Minus the lunch costs, I spent £19.05 on yoghurt, bananas, strawberries, herbs, mushrooms, quiche, butter, and garlic. 

    £152.87 / £340.00 spent. £187.13 remaining. 

    We're still good on food for the most part and the fridge is packed. Only thing we may need next week is milk.

    We're heading out to dinner tonight with family but we have a leftover slab of roast beef to work through over the next couple of days. I'll likely turn that into a pear, sliced beef, and roasted vegetable green salad for Saturday dinner and then a Thai yellow curry noodle soup for dinner on Sunday. 

    Have a good Friday night all!
  • £10.40 spend to declare.
    I bought 2 cartons of budget soya milk, wonky potatoes, pears, apples and oranges, a small block of cheese, small tub of flora that was on offer, plus tomatos, lettuce and half a cucumber that was reduced.
    Ive little over £8 left and hope to save £5 for the bulk fund. Especially as I don't think I need much for the weekend.
    Will declare if I do spend more.
