Hello and welcome! So we are now in a new week being that Christmas 2020 is over and I bet some of you still have leftovers.
I did go shopping afterwards at the weekend after. I shopped both in Tescos and M&S, because there were items that I couldn’t find in Tescos that I found in M&S and was more cost effective.
I love Early Grey Tea Bags but they are about £3 for a box, but in M&S they are only £1.90, and I like their Coleslaw and they do mini pizzas but on the day I wanted a couple they didn’ t have any so I bought a larger size one and the total shop of that was £5.55.
Before that on the Monday before Christmas day as I would need any meals purchased some snacks. I do find compared to Sainsbury’s and M&S that their price on snacks are better. I have gone into Morrisons but there is a scam going on in there, which I will tell you about in a minute, but yes. I know you should not snack all of the time but I also buy them for my son too. The total for this shop was £7.17.
Then the day I went to M&S as said above I popped into Tescos first to pick up more bits and pieces, but to also buy a ready meal. There is a nice Chicken Korma one they do and a nice loaf of bread which was less than a pound and is great for toasted sandwich, or make French toast whicTh I would love to make one day. This shops cost me £14.31.
I then picked up some more bits for the week, as my son stayed over lastnight and bought some pasta and Stir on sauces and I made enough to have some today, and so it I just hitting up in the microwave. I love pasta, especially dry Pasta as it lasts a long time and can make several dinners out of it. This shop cost me £8.30.
I got to say since being in a new relationship, I have saved a lot of money. There are those that overshop and buy items that we already have. I shop going on what I have already got and can make meals out of, and so does my new man.
- I always go through what I already have and then add to it
- Make a list, going on what I would like to add for my breakfast and dinner
- Set a budget
- Go on how many meals I am going to need for the week
- I find shopping in stores in the week better as yesterday when I got my last bits for the week, the store was empty
The one reminder if you didn’t read my Shopping Ideas post, there will be a lot of clearance sales on certain foods that were not sold at Christmas and that includes tins of chocolates, certain fruits and vegetables and meats.
