Its a longer month for me so upping budget and the cupboards are almost bare so need serious restocking, this was a huge help to me last month as was very conscience of every penny spent!

I have spent €115 of my allowance of €300 for this month already. But we wanted an M&S dinner our first night back from hols, for simplicity and I got a lot of whoopsies in Superquinn as well.

I have a freezer full at the moment, and getting lots of veggies from the plot, so I hope to have a minimal spend next weekend (bread, milk, yoghurts, fruit and possibly sambo meat, maybe meat for 1 dinner). And not a lot of spending for the rest of the month to use up the stores I have built up.
