Dont beat yourself up about it. As said its likely to even itself up over the next couple of weeks. You are now eating healthier than you were.
We also told you to factor in some treats a few weeks ago, so an ice cream on.a hot day is a good choice.
Next time have a look how much a bag of frozen peppers would be instead. I dont like them in salads, prefer fresh but should be ok in cooking.3 -
As Daisy_1571 and Spendless have already said, the budget will even up over the next few weeks plus, you have been spending to the lower end of your budget for a while and this week, the budget is only slightly over the maximum amount you set.An ice cream will be welcome this weekend.1

I cooked my curry this evening. I have managed to fill all 6 of my tubs to be put into the freezer and had a plate full for my tea tonight aswell. That should save me some money in the coming weeks.
