Can anyone tell me if the m&s dine in range changes often? There's is m&s in next big town to our nearest big town and we were there yesterday and I thought it would be ideal as a treat instead of a valentines meal out, it was both too early to purchase and nothing appealed really. Dh would like the lamb or beef hash but I wouldn't. We went to that town to buy first shoes for ds and because he's a big foot 5G we've to go again next weekend.
Made yesterday cheaper though because neither child got shoes! This is only a deferred spend for ds but dd will be ok for another few months :)
Our cleaner couldn't come for two weeks so we ate lunch out yesterday plus bought a 40th birthday present in the sales with the money and have €30 left. I did the cleaning myself but it was time consuming out of my 2 days off and working around ds' naps. Maybe when house is truly kondo'd and decluttered I might cut her back to fortnightly visits for 4 hours rather than 3 hours weekly.
Grocery Budget is €140 weekly - Butchers €38, Dunnes Stores €66.74(using €10 voucher & earning €15 off €75 spend for next week), Dealz €12.16 plus dh will go to Aldi today for remaining fruit, dogfood and tinned tomatoes his list is small so hopefully bill will be too.
I'm going to try only spend €50 in dunnes and get €10 off next week rather than €75 for €60 as I can feel the extra items creeping in already. My plan was to go to Aldi first and get remaining items in Dunnes but kids were under the weather & dh doesn't know his way around Dunnes so we decided for me to go to Dunnes yesterday and he do Aldi today but we were low on a lot of stuff. Used last bit of spread, slice of bread, ham, toilet roll yesterday morning
