Well I've spent £1.70 so far - one bus fare and a couple of packets of crisps. Had a small disaster tonight as I must have switched off the freezer at the wall by mistake last night instead of the TV - I've got a combined living room/ kitchen and the freezer is plugged into socket right next to the TV one.. oops!! Oh well was going to take the chilli con carne out anyway, just had to cook everything else!

Thankfully didn't have too much in there and amazingly it was still cold so everything still edible. Didn't particularly fancy eating broad beans for the next few days but needs must!

poor redsquirrel, at the moment mine is full of bread and ice lollies so that would be interesting... there is the occasional wee package of bacon or Lorne sausage for breakfast treats for DS but the cupboards, fridge and freezer are bare.
Must fess up - haven't spent anything for days but had a pizza delivered tonight.... will be back on track tomorrow...:o

Well spent about £14ish this evening.

Went to somerfield to pick up offers.

Novelle loo roll is £2.56 for 12 rolls bought two packs and catherdal city cheese as it is £1.99 each and sainsburys ar charging £5 for two. So bought two packs of cheese. And something else that slipped my mind. Total £10.04

Popped in to sainsburys and picked up 8 pints of 1% @ 5p a pint. Two 1.5Kgs silverside beef joints for 70p each and 1kg pork joint for 50p and 2 X 2.5 kgs bags of pots for 20p each :eek: end up spending £4.04 in total as I needed some bananas and other stuff.

Gave on beef joint to my mother and cut the other in half for my freezer. Only need to get some dried milk tomorrow as husband keeps leaving the milk out.

Worked out my bargains in sainsburys saved me approx £35 :eek:

Have £49 left in my grocer budget for the month.

Yours

Calley
