  • Hi folks. I’m adding £9.88 spent at Lidl today and £5 over the weekend for some salad greens. 

    £281.84 / £386.00 spent. £104.16 remaining

    I’m off to a conference in Edinburgh tomorrow for the rest of the week. While there I’m planning to stop by an Italian grocer and an East Asian grocer to pick up a few items. We’re down to a few drops of sesame oil and other goods. Mr. Jings will probably get some eggs while I’m away.

    We are off on hols in two days time so just making sure the fridge is not too full before we leave. My running total for September splits out at £54.93 for groceries, £71.84 for store cupboard and just £7.50 for direct debit milk. This is added to the rest of the year and gives a year to date percentage of 69.77% of my £3000 target with £2093.22 and three months to go. Although we are staying in a self catering cottage, we are expecting to eat out most of the time and anyway, the food is included in the holidays (treats and entertainment) total. We will shop on our way to the cottage and take a few bits (tea, coffee, mixed seeds and nuts) with us, but I'm not taking them out of the mix
