Judicious January - Long may the credit crunching continue

[roguepixie]

So, the credit crunching team are into Year 2013. Happy New Year everyone.

Let's continue our cost-cutting, , money saving,penny and pound pinching, NSD ways.

Did my monthly Aldi mega shop - £205!!!

In my defence that is all my packets, tins, jars, drinks, cereals, toiletries, cleaning products, school snacks and juices, baking flour and sugar and bread-making stuff. I also got my fruit and veg for the week and a chicken for Sunday (there was a 30% voucher in the paper for it).

I got a mirror voucher this morning. When I was half way round the store I realised I wouldn't get everything in my trolley so I paid for one trolley load, used my voucher and took it back to the car. On my way back to the store I spotted a newsagents across the road so I popped over and picked up another mirror. I used that voucher with my second trolley load. So I ended up with £10 off!

Helena, I like your style! :o

Wow helena that is some going in Aldi! My monthly shop usually comes in around £130 including all of the above and nappies. Admittedly I never let my cupboards get too bare. I am running everything down in Feb to the bare bones, so I expect my end of Feb shop will be matching that! Well done on using 2 vouchers. Good thinking ;)

Didn't win a bean at Bingo tonight :( Went with a group of Mummies - 1 won £10, 1 won £60 and 1 won £80. Will have to steal their good luck for next time!

Are we starting a February Thread, or are we all going to pile over to the Frugal Feb thread that someone else started?

I don't know, it keeps the forum looking tidy if we go over to mrs Deveres thread.

I haven't gone before because it wasn't February.
