    4/15 for me.  I’ve just finished reading ultra processed people which was an eye opener on the rubbish we’ve been eating far too often.  Sad to say to eat better involves spending more from our grocery pot so hoping by doing this challenge, i’ll stop flittering and make it a bit easier to add more to the grocery pot and be able to spend more for better food for our family.

    Great going with all the NSD's folks! <3
    @thepurplepixie - Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll fit right in <3
    Declaring a NSD 7/20 Monday - hospital appointments galore this week and when I can spend, I need to rest :/ So that's blasted any spending out of the water for this week. I will need to do a freezer semi-stock up on daily essentials at some point this month, but it's not urgent, at the moment! ;):D
