Last spend of the month was yesterday.I won't be going out today due to the rubbish weather
£8.25 at Aldi! and 63p on YS kale in HB.
So, my final total for the month is
£157/180
I'm happy with this, as it was the first full month of having DD2 back at home after four years living away from home; so still finding our feet.
