we did a humungous shop today in Lidlees. We haven't been for a couple of weeks because we've had 2 x 3 day mini breaks and I did an o-cardo delivery in between trips away to get a few essentials. So today we stocked up on toiletries, dishwasher and clothes washing products, cat related items, tins and jars and loads of other stuff. I've made a mental note of @Nelliegrace 's calculations on the price of blueberries and plan to go back to frozen berries in the Autumn - cheaper and not likely to perish. I did buy a punnet of fresh strawberries from our greengrocer yesterday and they were gorgeous but at £5 a punnet that's probably the last punnet of the summer.
I'm really pleased with an underspend this month as I have my beady eye on a savings pot to top up with it.
£27.00 underspend. £353/£3800
