Spent £19 in Tesco today on fresh fruit (we're going through grapes so fast!), some frozen bits (dorot crushed garlic is 50p a pack), some root beer and bread. Now up to £81.09/£250.
I'm clearly doing something wrong, we're not even 1 week into our August

if you go to your gp, they can prescripe something called 'driclor' which comes in a 75ml roll on, use it overnight and wash off in the morn, initially every other night, then every third night, dropping it down ( i now use it once a week) and use just a normal spray in the day and it controlled my excessive sweating caused by my polycystic ovaries. may be worth having a chat to your gp? i have had my drichlor for about 4months now and not even half way thru it.

Did my main shop yesterday and spent a total of £39.74; £35.49 in Mr Ts and £4.25 in the butchers which is £134.62/£250 for the month.
Still got 2 "main" shopping days this month, plus top ups of fruit & veg etc, so should be within my much lower target (reduced from £400:eek: to £250 a month).
