£0.86 to add and I'm also about to go to Aldi for I hope (just) lettuce, cucumber, w.u.l, coloured hair shampoo, gluten free bread and possibly any reductions.
I've had a horrible reaction to something the last three days, and only just feeling back to normal again; and normally when this happens it's gluten. So that's my body telling me it needs to go.
So, I've got flour on the way; but for now I need to get some supplies til I can bake my own bits. I thought I was over this blip, as I've not had a reaction to anything for a long time, but seemingly not. The trouble is i can't pinpoint exactly what it was I ate. Sometimes I think it's yeast, as I'm ok with wraps and sometimes even pasta; but airing on the side of caution as I felt like cr*p and don't want a repeat!!GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £69.15/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

£10.12 spent and managed to get everything. Aswell as a cabbage to make coleslaw, and an extra red pepper (on super 6)
Fingers crossed that's it now until my new GC month, unless I scoff a Yubi or use a loo roll from my own stores 😉GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £69.15/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

K9sandFelines oh so sorry, you were (possibly) glutened. From friends with gluten issues, I know it can throw people off for days or weeks. Hopefully your insides and autoimmune system can heal well.6

Thanks Jings, it a horrible feeling and a lesson that my body mustn't be tolerating it well at the moment. Thanks for your well wishes, I am back to normal today thankfully.JingsMyBucket said:K9sandFelines oh so sorry, you were (possibly) glutened.

Had my first try of the Aldi seeded Gluten Free bread and it's actually very nice, I'm quite surprised. Normally, I previously used to get the part baked GF rolls from H@meBargain, but they had none in; so I was lucky Aldi has started stocking these items or id be paying Co-@p prices as that's the nearest other shop.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £69.15/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.
