Nipped into Asda when I picked DD1 up from work this evening and just got cheese and country life on the 3 for £5 offer, and a tub of philly.

Will be going to Sainsbugs tomorrow as it is near where my car is going in for a check so I will have an hour to kill, though I might also go to Aldi when I get it back. There is not much I really need but I don't get to that side of town very often so I have to have a look, don't I.:rotfl:

See you all tomorrow.

Bought a bit of meat today - £2.50 Spent £8 in asda on 2 x £2 pizzas, reduced bread and some juice. None of it reallllly urgent so could have saved £10 really.

Hello all!
I'be been missing in action for a while due to getting married last weekend and generally having a mad week this week but I am now officially back on track!
Found the receipt from a dsah to Mr Ts on Monday (£39) and I've also bought milk and mushrooms since so that's an extra £1.80 to add onto the total which should now be £90.80 (i'll update the sig in a sec).

I have a shopping list for tomorrow - I thought we didn't need much but it seems to grow exponentially everytime I look at it!

This week's food will be...
Sat - pizzas from freezer (easy tea)
Sun - chicken parcel (glamorgan sausages for me), peas, parsnips, roast potatoes, brocolli, and gravy
Mon - curry from freezer for OH, 5 bean chilli for me
Tues - 5 bean chilli left overs for both of us
Weds - spag bol (from freezer) for OH, quorn meatballs and spag for me
Thurs -sausages and mash in a giant yorkshire pudding for both of us
Fri - haven't good a clue - Friday is usually lazy day tea!

Hope everyone is doing ok - will update the sig with tomorrow's shopping then...

Well done everyone on trying to keep on track with the budgets you've set. I have now banned DH from buying anymore food as we really do not have anywhere for it to go!!
