    Well - i have challenged myself to not doing a food shop this week, and so far have managed (last one was May 22nd apart from milk!). Am using up stuff from the freezer and tins, which just goes to show how much stuff lurks in the house. It's looking like I will go sub-£3k before the end of June - can hardly contain myself!!!!

    Just been to do my food shop, managed to go a whole week with only buying milk last week! Spent £41 but that included meat for the whole month (or longer) so not bad at all. will just need to stock up on fresh stuff the next two or three shops. Still have my M&S £11 of vouchers so that can maybe do next week's.
