They are in the freezer for the dogs and will go for a week's meals so not bad for the 2 of them!
I also got a lovely evening dress from a dress agency in Sheringham on Saturday for my niece. It was brand new with tags and ws 70% off so it cost just £7.50. It is really beautiful and I just jealous that I am not a size 8 to fit into it
(though I would look a bit skeletal as I am 5 foot 7").
I also got 2 bags of Iams dog food 3KG senior reduced in Sainsbury's to £5 a bag. Not sure why reduced as good date (April 2013) and not a brand I normally buy but good ingredients. The dog pictured on the packet even looked quite like Izzy! (it was a mini Schnauzer though not a Kerry
)
There is nothing like a good bargain to make you feel better.

Definitely some bargains there
I used to take a friend to Asda on a Tuesday lunchtime and used to get quite a few bargains then.

OH and I spent about £150- £200 a month on our food (fresh meat and veg every day).
Dogs cost just over £20 per month to feed, and cats about the same (2 dogs, 4 cats)

They aren't too bad for the month. I'm no good at trying to organise myself for a monthly shop so do it every week, although that does sometimes stretch a little bit if I am using up stuff in the freezer.
