Big shop at Aldi, £160. Thats all of the meat, cheese, bread, tins and frozen food, all the house things like dishwasher tablets and loo rolls for the month, as well as fresh fruit and veg for a week-ish. I will have to do at least 2 top ups for more fruit and veg, and possibly milk and bread later in the month. Not too bad though.
I've also got £650 in credit for electric, so that's a win going into winter, thats overpaying in the summer and solar panel credit added to the balance. Water charge has gone up to £46 a month though, seems a bit steep, but still less than before we had a meter.
I am looking for some warmer trousers, there is no warmth in jeans, but I don't know what to wear instead. I'm not keen on joggers, and too wide legs are a pain when wearing wellies. Which I do at least once a day when walking the dog during the winter. I also don't like the cossack look when I tuck wide trousers in my boots. I'm definitely not built for leggings. It won't be this month though, I have my son's birthday, so I don't think there will be much to spare.
