OK. so last week ended up not being as cheap as I’d hoped because of the 25% discount on frozen goods. I stocked up!

Again, the challenge is on to keep it under 100Euro.

 

Two hours’ later:

YAY! I did it! 90 euro! Spar had a promotion on: spend 100 euro and get 10 back. I spent 100.19! Huzzah. That includes birthday cake ingredients as well. Marvellous.

 

Have a delicious week
