March is here and its going to be a very busy and interesting month for us. I am due to give birth to our second child on 11th March and will take some time to recover after the Cesarean section so my blogging may be limited for a wee while!
We have had some lovely sunny days and its been nice to be able to do simple things like tidy the garden, hang the washing outside and play in the garden with our son. Now that the days are longer our chickens are laying more eggs and we are getting 3-4 a day which is great.

Today we done the big food and household shop for March. I have done a meal plan for the month based on the food we already have in the house, there is one week where we will be eating home made freezer meals but the majority of the months lunches and evening meals are planned out. We went to Aldi armed with our list and got some other items in Sainsburys. We did not have any butcher meat to buy as we bulk bought in Costco last month, there is no toilet roll or washing detergent either but I needed a few toiletries and some make up items as well as baking ingredients. Here is how the spend broke down:
Food: £64.41
Household Items: £5.43
Toiletries: £10.83
Nappies & Baby Wipes: £9.06
Total Spend: £89.73
I had said to DH that I would love to come in under £100.00 this month and we did so I’m really pleased. Aside from this the only food we need to buy is our weekly top up shop for fresh items.
We are aiming for 16 No Spend Days in March.
A good start to the month!
