Oh my god I spent about £250 on food this month just for me and dd

[tammyBEARinggifts]

Is this normal? I dont think I usually spend this much, and Ive only had dp down twice this month!! And everytime I look in the fridge theres nothing there!! Have I got a gremlin or something?? Or maybe I just eat in my sleep

no menu plannign then?

hehe. i think i spend around£300 a month for 3 of us. oops.

remembering the days of menu planning and only spending 30 a week for 3 of us.

i did menu plan this week, and have kept to it. problem is now that ive got my car i dont have to worry about struggling back with bags of shopping.

Did you go more often to the supermarket?- as I find the more I go the more I spend. I should have gone this pm but didn't & managed to make a meal from what we had - that everyone even liked

yeah, i do find i go more often which is a problem, and as i go to asda for petrol, i find myself going in thinking "well i might as well since im here"

we're only meant to spend £200 for 3 of us but that doesn't take into account my occasional trips to m&s/tesco if feel like something different than what is in the house, takeaways, meals out!

Know that feeling Some days I avoid the big shops & just get a loaf of bread. If I had gone to the supermarket I'd have spent loads when just some bread was enough.

Im just the same cardigan. But have managed to stop ordering take aways, and went out for a meal on saturday but dp paid Very tempting ordering some chinese or a pizza though. mmmmm....
