Thursday:
£7.72 Grocery

Lots of grocery spending this week but we have stocked cupboards and a stocked freezer.
On Thursday I nipped into our local store for some cheese (I forgot to buy it on Monday), and while I was there picked up some individual porridge packets which were on offer - not a very frugal way to buy it, but perfect for lunch at work and a lot cheaper than buying lunch out; I'd rather eat porridge instead of a sandwich as it's more filling.

So far in January I've spent £131.48 on grocery and I'm still hopeful of keeping within my No (Low) Spend Challenge goal of £180. Mind you hubby is away working a.lot. this month and it's really helping to keep the costs down!

Other spending this week was £3.15 posting a parcel to my son and the annual charge for our telephone line rental (£120).

How did your spending go this week?

    1. Lol no - he's much more of a frugal/non spender person than I am!

    2. My week went great - five no spend days, that's a record for me! If I only had to feed myself I could cut my food spending by 75% easily!
