    Another wonderful no spend day for me xx Still too ill to even think about going to do a shop or shop online, so it's working out well as my card stays on freeze until I go shopping :D. Just as well I stocked piled on those lovely 8p veggies before Christmas, as veggie soup is just about all I can manage to eat at the moment. I knew decluttering the shed would pay its dues in terms of being able to store even more veggies <3<3
    That's about it as I need coffee & more rest xxxxxx

    First no spend day for me! 1/15

    I've had a couple of close days, but spent a bit on some fruit and veg a couple of times.

    This challenge has helped me cut down on spending on snacks and food deliveries at work so far.

    I think I will be able to no spend tomorrow as well. Let's see.
    No.13 in the 2025 saving money challenge. Target £36,000.

    Monthly grocery budget challenge: £720

    NSD challenge: target 10 a month

    Have been to supermarket for food top up (adult sons still home from Uni so our usual weekly delivery isn't cutting it at the moment, even though it's costing twice as much!). As I include food in allowed spends, and was tempted by nothing else, I'm still counting this as a NSD, taking me up to 7/20.
