Today was a strike day. As a staff we decided not to man a picket line, mainly because we were tired/unwell and the thought of 2 long lies was irresistible! But we attended a local rally outside the council HQ later in the morning.
Afterwards I walked into town as I had M&S vouchers worth £11. I had thoughts of getting myself some treats but everything was so expensive. So I went yellow sticker hunting instead and saw a few good deals. As it was still before lunch time there weren't many. But I got a great deal on some ewe's milk cheese, reduced from £4.25 to £1.32 and some jumbo sausages (gluten free) that had almost £1 off.
But the main reason I went to M&S was because I wanted sushi for lunch. That wee box cost £5. It was a delicious but expensive treat. I really should learn to make my own! 🍣 Total was £12.52 so really I got free meat and cheese then got the sushi for £1.52 😋
So here we are at the end of the month already! My February spending was rather low 🎉
- Supermarket/groceries: £107.07
- Pets: £62.01
- Amazon inc monthly fee: £70.71
- Other misc: £56.85
That is worrying about the flat. Hope it all works out eventually. I have made sushi but, although it was tasty, it wasn't as good as the store bought. Something to do with the freshness of the fish, I think. I didn't use raw fish.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't use raw fish either! I'm trying not to stress about the flat but it's hard :-(
DeleteI do hope the sale has not fallen through. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks! I'm hoping it works out but I'm not confident :-(
DeleteThe table legs sound intriguing, I'll look forward to seeing the end result.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the flat - hope all is well there.

I'll post pics when it's done. Keeping my fingers crossed on the flat but it's not looking good :-(
DeleteGosh, Ali, that’s worrying about the flat! I like the sound of the ewe’s milk cheese-does it taste sharp like feta? The weather has definitely turned colder again so you were wise to stay at home and not picket yesterday. Catriona
ReplyDeleteNo it's not like feta at all, more like a cross between gouda and cheddar. Very nice! :-)
DeleteI'm sorry the flat is still not completed, fingers crossed it is this month.
ReplyDeleteSome good savings there, I do like the M&S yellow stickered things. I used to get some great bargains on a Monday morning in M&S when we lived near the Llandudno branch.
I always feel especially pleased to snag a good M&S bargain!!! :-)
DeleteYou have a very interesting and helpful blog. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
