Aww Hi 👋 everyone again!!
Im so glad I’m still listed above - thank you @JingsMyBucket - I thought I’d try again.
Had a busy and testing few months. Mam was in hospital from Oct - Feb with a broken hip (2nd one 🙄) and then back home, settling with carers etc …. Then family birthdays and trips away, honestly I’m glad for a rest in June.

My first shop will be this Friday and as above I’ll be hoping to be around £90 per week.

Looking forward to being accountable again.

Ttfn 👋 Dollypeeps

Back this morning from a first visit to an actual NHS dentist so hopefully will be able to save a bit of money. Went past a co-op so popped in to see what I could find with this week’s £1 saving. Picked up a 750gm bag of new potatoes for 25p. Get in😊

And rain at last

Hello!

Can I join in again please for £300 for the month.

I have my first shop of the month coming tomorrow which is mostly fruit, veg, dairy and a few baking bits. We're focussing on using up stores as much as possible this month as I've been guilty of far too much hoarding and we need to save some cash for the summer when there will be more demands on the old purse.

My shopping delivery arrived this morning and came to a total of £64.19. I've got lots of fresh fruit and veg now as well as tofu, hummus, cheese, butter and milk so what with everything in the cupboards and freezer already I'm sorted until next week.

I had to go to hB for some grass seed so I picked up a couple of cupboard staples whilst i was there; 'jarlic' x 2, h2nders0ns relish and a jar of gherkins. Total cost was £4.26. I have amended my siggie figgie. I'm making a veggie version of white fish and bean puttanesca for tea, using qu0rn and omitting the anchovies. I think someone mentioned it either on here, or over on Frugaldom's thread.

henderson's relish?

Isn't that Worcestershire sauce w'out the anchovies? Noticed you left the anchovies out of the recipe as well
