    I ended up buying meatballs for dinner yesterday since the chicken was looking dodgy. I forgot to use the gift card so it ended up being a spend day 😭 
    @InDebtEnby you don't have to include basic groceries so if that's all you spent I think it's an NSD. It sounds as though you could not have gone with the planned chicken so not a lot of choice. xx :)
    Anything that isn't a bill I count as spending, otherwise I would overspend, especially on snacks.
