Hubby bought a few essentials mainly bits for DS3 10.55 I went to
lidl for eggs and bread and got excited by the reduced tofu and tempeh and stocked up on them. The got home and found my £5 off £70 voucher would have probably spent more to use it but now I’m going to let it go I really don’t need anything else this month. Spent 30.58

total 363.61/ 600
With care can stay under 400 which would be amazing 🤩
