This is the last of my cash until my pension hits my bank account, which will be soon I hope as I was down to £31.31 at the start of the week, and it's even less now that I've been tempted to buy a few things.
I spent £10.39 in Sainsbury's the other day, all on things that I had either on a Nectar price or a personal offer, so it was worth getting them while they were cheaper. Even if that does mean that I now have just £20.92 left in the kitty.
I really did fancy some ice-cream for the bank holiday weekend, so even if that was the only thing not on an offer, it was well worth the £3.25 it cost me.
This morning we went to Morecambe for breakfast and it was going to be a walk on the prom, but it was so chilly with a really low lying sea mist and a cold breeze, we didn't stay for long.
Before we left though I picked up my unused sugar packs from the café, and then we went into the animal charity shop for a quick browse. Alan bought me this tiny little cup, which will be adorning my Christmas tree along with my other miniature china pieces later this year.
On the way home Alan wanted to stop at the big Sainsbury's to get a pack of steaks for his tea, so we called in. The 'Bake at Home' baguettes were £2 a pack or 2 packs for £3. So Alan gave me one of the packs along with the promise of half his cucumber and a carton of orange juice.
Who said romance was dead. 😄
In other news ... my bus pass arrived this morning, so there has been much teasing and planning being done by Alan. He fancies some holidays around England being done via bus routes and bed and breakfasts, it should work out a very cheap way to do things. We'll see.

I used to work on a strictly cash basis when we were first married... no credit cards, no writing cheques... and debit cards hadn't been invented.... it kept us in funds!
ReplyDeleteI need a fella to split groceries with - ha! By the way, your ginger cat on the sidebar is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlan definitely knows the way to your heart.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
If you google 'peopke who travel UK by pensioners bus pass' there are some great stories on there. I heard a radio programme about the one set of friends that had done this and that drove me (no pun intended) into a google rabbit hole!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea about the bus getaways. In a way, that sounds romantic!
ReplyDeleteOh, nice to have the bus pass! I can't wait to see where it takes you!
ReplyDeleteI love my bus pass. I used it in Norfolk last week, £6.00 saved :)
