    A few spends to report.

    From stores - two Yubi bars and two loo rolls - £3.00
    Got five reduced alpro creams @39p each from a Co -@p by Her@n, whilst killing time waiting for the bus. Gonna use it instead of milk, I've just watered it down. Also, got ys crumpets.
    Then in Her@n two packs of kallo corn cakes @69p each and two boxes of crackers @49p ( I think also Kallo). Finally, a large tomato sauce for £1, should last ages as I rarely use it.
    Today, bag of sweetcorn  for £1.35 as I was near to the Waitrose, whilst at the chemist.

    Freezers are full and I've got bits of bobs in the cupboard, so should be good. Maybe just need a few fresh bits but should get them at the next Bread and Butter thing, as I haven't been today.

    £9.65 total
    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 Jul £134.25/£150 Aug £47.95/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month. One person vegan household with occasional visitors)
