Went to Tesco for this weeks shopping, managed it for 83.00 which was ok really for Tesco, and I bought enough meat for about 10 days, however, on the way in there was a display of energy saving bulbs with a notice saying 5 bulbs for 40p!!!!!!
I could not believe that we could get them at that price, they are normally 1.00 each, they had bayonet and screw fitting ones, with three different wattages however, the sign was correct, so I bought 15!!!!
As most bulbs are advertised as lasting for 10 years, I may not need to buy another bulb for quite some time!

Food shopping today
Managed to buy the whole week shopping today at Aldi for less than 50.00!!!! I got enough meat and veg for all 7 meals, and enough for breakfast and lunch too. Didn't have to buy washing powder, loo rolls or pet food today, so that would have added a bit more to the bill, but it was still a good haul.
sitting down with the recipe books and making a shopping list is really knocking pounds off the bill each week mind you, and sticking to the shopping list and counting it up as I go round helped too.
Getting quite good at saving money now!!!

Changed billing details with mobile
it costs me an extra pound to receive my mobile bills on paper, and isn't very good for the environment either, and to be honest I rarely look at them, other than the cost, so I finally got round to going online tonight and changing to online bills.
A little cross with myself for leaving it so long, as I could easily have changed months ago, the company gave plenty of warning about their charges, but at least from now on I will save another pound a month.

Cheap coffee!!!!!
We were in Galashiels today to meet with Helen, and popped into Asda whilst we were there, we found tins of coffee (500gms) for less than 4.00!!!! The large jars (200gms) of Nescafe were 3.00 so we think we bagged a bargain!
We were a little worried about buying such a large amount incase we didn't like it, but have tried it and it tastes the same as Nescafe! We will definately be buying that again, although getting to an Asda might be a challenge, I will have to get Helen to bring some over whenever she comes over, and will stock up in Hamilton whenever we are there too, the large tins of Nescafe were more than 10.00 so getting the Asda tin for less than 4.00 was a bargain! It didn't appear to be on special offer either!!
