    Way hey! I think I've cracked the font colour (fingers crossed)

    Reporting in ...1st shop of the month today £10.50 between Aldeee and Mr m.
    Went into Mr m with the intention of only buying a ham shank and wonky carrots but I was once again seduced by their smoked mackerel on offer so temptation got the better of me!
    Into Aldeee for milk, fruit n veg.
    Chicken curry and or sweet potato and spinach curry with rice and home made nans for tea tonight. Tomorrow there is just me so ooooh will be nice to just please myself.....
    Sunday, everyone is all over the place so will get the giant sized slow cooker out and make ham shank, veg and mixed pulses cordon bleu style soupy/stew concoction :D with homemade bread.
    I took my very glamorous shopper I bought a while ago from the large Swedish place to do my shopping today. Dragging it home up the hill is better than going to the gym!

    Wishing you a speedy recovery thrift wizard.
    Congratulations Jing on your new husband!

    £23 today at sainsbury on things to add to things I have to make meals. So sauces for vegan chicken and "meatballs", salsa to finish a rice dish. Also YS fancy bread, crispbreads, and my hair conditioner was on offer.



    Also a bar of v posh chocolate, bananas, veg to make risottos.


    Am hoping I'm good til about Wednesday on that. I am going for little and often shopping this month vs giant payday blow out. No idea if that will work better!

    @Littlebigfoots @Suffolk Lass thankfully there wasn’t any damage. The water/pipe bursting only cycled through a normal flush and didn’t just keep gushing. I am SO happy and lucky that I didn’t have a “heavier” usage of the toilet before the incident! :rotfl:

    $5.98 spent at a corner market for strawberries and some vegetable chips/snacks while waiting for my dinner from the taco truck. Definitely shouldn’t have gone shopping while hungry.

    TOTALS SO FAR
    $5.99 / $450.00
