"Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP Christmas Shopping

It is the 11th December 2019 and in stead of focusing on December 12th 2019.

I am looking at my Christmas shopping again.

I had a promo code for Tesco's come though for Tesco's only vailed until 17th December 2019

XXHTFL (I CAN NOT USE THIS CODE)

At the moment I have put every thing that I would love to buy in my on line shopping basket taking my on line order up to £ 333.90.  With the prom code I would get £25.00 off if I order today.  Taking my balance down to.

£309.90  BUT this breaks my rules and my budget so what do I do? (CODE CAN NOT BE USED BY ME)

I have already saved £60.74 buy looking at the bargains some that I will losses if I do not ordered today.

My aim is to spend no more than  £40.00 per week on my shopping bill so what should I do?

I have lapsed a lot recently due to not being able to use my Healthy Start Vouchers on line and in store only.

I have also been using the online Change for Life Apps due to my son having detail problems and having to look more at my children's diet and my own.


So what I will now do is only buy the food that the deals run out on first, unless I need the items.

This is why writing a list helps even when shopping on line or keeping track of the items that you buy regular and add into your online favourite online shopping list.

(This can help and cut down shopping time and help to budget.)

One thing that I also look at is Items in Basket, and Guide prise to help you with an idea of how much your shopping is costing and how many items you are getting for your money.

Also do not get sucked in by deals they do not always save you money.  SO if you have time try and work out the costings before buying BOGOF items etc.

One thing that you are also recommended to do is to add any clear notes do your shopping list.

At this time of the year if you do not then they may not send whet you want.  BUT you can say NO at the door and they will REFUND YOU.

One thing that I will do is put in my diary when the deals and my vouchers expire so I can plan my shopping more in 2020.

But with two children in nappies, I am finding keeping my order at £40.00 per week a challenge due to the cost of wapes and nappies so I have changes it to £50.00 per week until both of my little ones are 100% DRY.





The one thing I hate about shopping on line is when it can take forever to check out just like when you are in store.
