RE: £1 a day Challenge - Veggie - 17-10-2025
Today, I parked in Morrisons Carpark, killing time until I could collect the Olio bread. Didn't have the address but knew it was near Morries. I was very tempted to pop in to look for bargains but knew it would be a step too far to come out emptyhanded. I read my car manual instead
Still £28.16 in the kitty.

I confess to going to Morries yesterday. Its where I buy my petrol and, I just had to go in store to see if anything was YS!
It cost the Kitty £7.56 for some YS veggie sausages, a Thai Green curry, a Lobster Mac & cheese, 2 boxes of battered fish, a whole kipper and 3 bunches of bananas (20p each).
£20.60 left in the Kitty for the rest of October.

Back to Morries today as I needed dog food and butter. Ended up spending £6.68 of the Kitty , mostly on veggie sausages, butter and YS Mushrooms.
£13.92 remaining and a week to go! I'll do it easily.

Does TooGoodToGo £5 meal need to come out of that?
RE: £1 a day Challenge - Veggie - 24-10-2025
No, because I didn't buy it.

Ending the month with £16.67 in the Kitty Jar. Tomorrow, I'll add another £30 to see me through November. Hadn't realised this would be so easy!!

All I found were some Veggie meals for 49p, yogurt 95p and YS Large eggs for £1.39. So I spent £3.81. Total Spend for October £23.14. The Kitty Jar was £31 + £5 Morries voucher. So, there should be £12.86 left in the Kitty Jar. Happy with that.(23-10-2025, 03:09 PM)Veggie Wrote: Back to Morries today as I needed dog food and butter.

First spend from the November Kitty Jar £30. (I've "banked" the £12.86 leftover from October).
Bought mushrooms, red onions, easy peeler tangerines and some YS Chocolate eclairs. Cost £1.88.
£28.12 left in the Kitty Jar.
