Just being nosey!
£152 weekly shop in Tesco
£129 DS’s main birthday present
£25 soft play
Was going to stock up on my skincare (been substituting with cheap stuff for a few months) this evening but feel like I might need to hold that off now.

Nothing. I’ve been gardening all day.

Spent a fortune over the last few days, though

Fullmoan · 31/01/2026 14:10

£6.50 on a train ticket for my son.

I don't anticipate spending anything else.

Not struggling for cash just nothing I need

Specialagentblond · 31/01/2026 14:11

£50 supermarket
£50 petrol
£13 gym top
£5 Superdrug
£4 meal deal
£2 coffee

meal out later. Bit of a spends day today but staying in tomorrow so will likely spend 0.

Anonanonanonagain · 31/01/2026 14:11

Zero so far but I have yet to leave the house.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 31/01/2026 14:15

£3 (capped) bus fare for a hospital appointment and I'll spend £3 coming home again. Cheaper than driving once you take parking into account.

I've got a wedding hotel to pay for plus hen weekend accommodation and a weekend away with my "girl crew" all to come out of this month's money so will be reining it in.

ThirdStorm · 31/01/2026 14:15

4 new tyres for £425! £7 for some basic supplies in the co-op.

Xiaoxiong · 31/01/2026 14:16

£6.10 on Hospital vending machine snacks
£3.40 on hospital coffee
Hospital parking still clocking up…

piano55 · 31/01/2026 14:17

About £10 at costa and £100 on Sainsbury’s shop coming later today.

Purplecatshopaholic · 31/01/2026 14:20

Nothing so far, but I’m halfway through my Sainsbos food order, and about to press Buy on a Free People order so it’s about to go up quite a bit, lol.

marshmallowfluffster · 31/01/2026 14:21

£22 in Sainsbury’s (nuts, seeds, milk, chocolate and this half price cardigan)
£2.50 having a bra repaired
oh and £25 petrol

About £15 on a few bits from Booths as there wasn't much food in the house and I'm doing my full week's shop tomorrow.

Yeah it feels like half my money this month has gone on hospital parking!

NoWordForFluffy · 31/01/2026 14:27

Just over £40 on dog food / treats in Jollyes and just under £40 in Home Bargains filling the snack cupboard.

LardoBurrows · 31/01/2026 14:30

I was just about to post a big fat zero whilst feeling quite good, but then I remembered that this week I've spent the following 😲, so not feeling so smug now, but don't regret any of it 😁.

Nothing today, BUT this week I've spent
£30 on a birthday present, £11.00 on a makeup brush cleaner,
£83 Abel & Cole Organic, £8 Amazon subscription

And much more excitingly £220 on a FiiO DM13 Portable Stereo CD Player in red, for me, which I already love, plus several CDs to replace long lost and much loved LPs. Oh, and I'm currently looking at open backed wired headphones to complete the listening experience.

TimeForATerf · 31/01/2026 14:34

£33 at Tesco, £15 on a train ticket and there will be a Chinese takeaway @ £20 ish later.

BarbarianBabs · 31/01/2026 14:36

£1.75 for the tram! Walked there, got the tram back.

Knitterofcrap · 31/01/2026 14:37

About £100

MAC have an offer where you get a free toiletry bag if you buy any two items.

And Body Shop brought back Dewberry!!

ReadingSoManyThreads · 31/01/2026 14:38

£0 and no plans to spend anything later.

Only because I paid my taxes yesterday though!

sunnysunshinebear · 31/01/2026 14:41

£207 on the weekly shop
£24 in Sports Direct - birthday gifts for DC friends joint party
Talked myself out of a Starbucks!

MissingSockDetective · 31/01/2026 14:45

£50 at Asda George as they had some clothes I really wanted to get dd and I had to get myself a jumper to make it worthwhile having them delivered!

£10 on a sledge as I always think I should get one when it shows and by then it is too late. Now I have one it will obviously never snow again.

Brightermornings · 31/01/2026 14:47
