    Think I may actually risk a cuppa. I need one! Good luck to anyone's who's small ones are going back to school today, mine go Wednesday. Big hugs if you need them, I know I will!

    Hi,

    I've just finished reading all your diary, you're doing well and have encouraged me to try and stick to a smaller ( maybe not £10) food budget until next pay day.

    Your shopping has inspired me too. Although I'm aiming for £50 per week! I think it's amazing you can do it for £10!

    Thank you, it's amazing what you can get by on. I used to buy for every eventuality! Now I just buy exactly what we'll eat! So happy to have inspired some people!

    Well I have just booked my table for my birthday lunch which I will be paying for! 'Sigh' it's no fun having a birthday when OH is away. But bless MIl she had the children waiting with flowers and cake and they'd made bunting, I could have cried at the thought that went into it.

    That's so lovely of your MIL and children :)
    I had a go at a ten pounds challenge, I have already spent 5 pounds- :eek:

    2X reduced biscuits 1.13
    1X reduced yoghurt 11p
    2X reduced french fancies 98p
    Bananas 34p
    Apples reduced 15p
    Haddock reduced 30p
    Ribs reduced 30p
    Milk 1.00
    Sandwich reduced 46p
    Teacakes reduced 24p

    I know ive bought a lot of snacks but I use them for lunches and they'll last all week at least ;)

    So I have 4.94 left. I think I will need milk butter juice and cheese. Much harder than it looks !! :money:

    You've done really well, especially the haddock and apples! It is really hard, I have to plan well in advance for buying cheese!!! Value cheese is fine though! And Tesco is always having special offers. I think you've done amazingly well!
