I have done WW online 3 times now, will do it every week now.

saves me 2 hours, plus petrol each week, so more time for me to cook... :)

Yes I did Hally, a great experience and I would do it again.  It will make my life easier.

Yes it is so easy, I have my big order coming sunday. I have ordered lots of things to take away from glad wrap, toilet rolls to crackers for cheese etc. that way easy to pack in boxes than trying to find what we have in the house. What we dont use in the 2 weeks will just come home.

Oops blew the budget in Aldi! Filled the trolley.

Got some cider, beer, wine and alcoholic ginger beer for Xmas plus quite a few pressies and lots of nuts etc. some ice creams and a few treats.
£191!!!!! Am shocked but am earning now so not so bad.

Including sticker books for the children .99p each, and activity books at £2.99 each  I look after for Xmas eve, a horrible squeaky chicken fr the puppy for £2, as I know the kids will be thrilled. 3 things for a nephew and few things for DD that. Can't post in case she reads it!

I haven't added up my shopping for the last few weeks, too much party food, gifts etc! Also I'm stocking up on packaged food to take away with us - plan to do minimal cooking since I have no idea what the kitchen will be like at the holiday house, plus we'll probably be eating out a bit.
Will get back into it in the new year, my bank account will demand it!

I am wih you Deedub, my total around $200-$250, lost track to be honest, as I too bought a load of food to take away. Then again next week probably wont spend much as we will only need fresh items.

Once we are back in January, its going to be very strict again, our bank account will need it too.

AB,  ooh never  hought of a trailer ;D did suggest to dh we might need roof racks :) lol

Obbie, tts chrstmas, how come zero spend?

Well done to you guys that  have kept in budget. :)

Must get back on budget now Xmas is over.  Going shopping today so will see how I go.  Will make a big effort as Xmas was quite expensive.
