The Last £7.50


G had £7.50 worth of  spendable Nectar points on his account so we used it yesterday to do a top up shop for the weekend.  He has lost his receipt 😞 (will he never learn?) but from memory we bought:

milk, bread, 2 x tins of fruit, a fresh cream trifle, yogurt, a box of cherry bakewell tarts (for the family visit tomorrow)  G also bought 4 cans of beer but we won't count that as food!  He paid for that himself. I can't remember the exact prices but a combination of Nectar prices and special offers meant that we spent £7.55 in total so just 5p actual cash, which means the food shop this week totals 12p.  We have enough food in stock now to last until the next delivery on Wednesday 22nd June.  I'm really pleased with that 😀

We have saved a lovely £50 this week so, after a charity donation of £10,  I have transferred £40 to the savings.  This will give us a bit of a safety net for price increases in the next month or two.

  1. Once again a great shopping trip. I am finding it harder and harder to really save much, and you are doing really well.

    God bless.

  2. Wow, a brilliant week ... 12p ... even me with my best challenge hat on could not beat that. You are crowned Coupon and Voucher Queen ... can you balance that award alongside your Peaches Queen crown?

    Enjoy your Fathers' Day lunch. xx
