Well I forgot my entire handbag today. Good to know I don’t feel quite so tethered to it, I guess. So that meant no spend. I really didn’t factor in the school holidays though.
I came home from work to an extra child for the night which meant changing up dinner to a meal that would fill the stomachs of teen boys that had been out biking all day so Mac and Cheese it was.
Thought i’d throw a cake together for snack and morning tea for tomorrow and got half. way through it only to discover said teens had used all the eggs. So off I sent them to the supermarket with $10 and the don’t buy anything else spiel. Well they came back with the smallest pack of eggs ever and a bottle of soda water. Oh well. $7.50 spent.
This is going to be so much harder than I thought. I spent some time today browsing the supermarket sites and man NZ food prices are horrendous. I know we are in desperate need of butter but $8.29 was the cheapest 500g block I could find. So we will be using it very sparingly from now on.
Feel free to through suggestions on butter alternatives at me. For now I’m just using up the very large container of coconut oil I found in the pantry.
