Slow progress

This has been an interesting - but largely successful - week in the frugal life.

Payday finally arrived and as usual, the first shop of the month sent my stress levels soaring.  My wife has taken to doing our shopping online with one of the large supermarkets, and it can lead to some really good savings, but anything over £60 for a weeks shopping makes me sweat!!

That is until I watched a programme where the featured family were tasked to reduce their shopping from a whopping £200 per week!!!  I suddenly realised that our bill is pretty damn reasonable, even too good.

Prices are rising quickly everywhere you look, and savings have to be made.  I suddenly realise that is must be easier than it looks as we are doing really well.

Aside from that, it has been another week with no borrowing, and another week where the debt has been shrinking (albeit still slowly)!!!

No new debt since December 2009 - long may it continue!!!!!
