Nought Bought January

I hope you left them a positive review, for looking after your finances for you....   

I did go to the grocery store yesterday to buy the fresh produce needed for making split pea soup. Before Christmas, we had already bought the split peas and the ham. Now, we're using the ham bone to make the soup.

I bought fresh produce, but whatever...

I am not involved in this but I think food staples should be allowed.

If it makes it simpler, there is also the low buy option?

This is rather as Heather has described.

I will personally be carrying on as intended, and making do, until I have to buy. Even food. I have already worked out that my always lunch of rye bread, seeds and nuts will have to change as my rye bread will not last till the end of the month, and while I have enough milk to last me if I only use it for coffee. It won't last me for the cereal I will need to have for my supper which is usually the rye bread that will not last.

I had hoped to rely more on bread, but I have just counted that there is only six slices left in the freezer.

That does make it easier if you eat the same thing most days!

I eat a variety of things most days, aside from breakfast items. I generally only have to buy breakfast every couple or few months.

Necessities? For me, I am only going to replace them when there is no alternative. For instance when my milk runs out, I will be having black coffee, as the only milk in the house will be the so's whole milk, which I do not like.

What I am going to find difficult is buying food for the so, that I will be unable to share in. It is I who does the food shopping. 

I just went into a charity shop, the so wanted a look around. As I left I realised I had actually bought something, a belt.

I just thought "That's handy", and before I could rhyme nought with bought, I had purchased it.

I am hoping to buy NOTHING today: I need my money to pay my bills. The less spent the better.

I have bought nought today, and I am not going out now.

Bought nought

I am buying a few sweet treats today, so obviously that means spending money. But I am craving Haagan Dazs ice cream.

I gave in and bought myself Haagen Dazs ice cream. I also ate a bag of Monster Munch crisps and drank two glasses of coca-cola.

Seriously yummy.
