Hi Folks,
Spent £17.52 on grocerys today bringing my total to £77.53/£90. Only £12.47 left for the rest of the month. It is going to be tough.
Take care

Oops spent £101.35 - was aiming for more like £60! Also had a takeaway which I'm not counting on top...
I did cut out fizzy drinks completely
Spent £1.49 on hazelnuts still but no crisps
Did spend £5.50 of "gifts" oops - actually just looked at my receipt and was overcharged - so make that £3 on gifts and taking back an £8 item :eek:
Spent £4 on ice creams... I know, I know but I did - yum
£3 on muller corners - well they were on offer - I got about 12 for that!
About £20 was toiletries, cleaning products, loo rolls, sink unblocker etc
So that leaves about £94 until end of Jan. It would be doable if I was more disciplined... there is plenty in the cupboards it is all about whether or not it gets eaten before replacements are bought lol! Must try harder I think.:eek: :eek:Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality by mid 2030

To do a signature click on 'User CP'. located third along from right on the blue bar above the threads. Once in there you will see a list of choices, again in blue- 'Edit signature' is the one you want.

Also I was wondering what month clubcard and dividend vouchers come out ? thanks xErmutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

This weeks grocery spends came to £27.96. My freezer is very full, and I think I have enough bread and milk to last until next weeks big shop. I've missed reading a lot of the posts as I've been poorly with sinusitis and a chest infection.
I'll be making banana muffins tomorrow to take to work and share on Monday. They're the easiest cake I've ever made, and they never go wrong (it's a Nigella recipe). Everyone else buys cakes and biscuits, but after home made food, I think that those little boxes of dried up muffins taste awful.0 -
I got a food order in last Monday, should last us an extra week and a half to what we've had. Spent £72 with that as got a code for free delivery. Next one we get I have a £10 voucher off too! So I now have £53 left which we can easily do!
