Check your pockets for free money!!!
Ok. So it's not exactly free, but it may as well be. Our friend DailySpends has just made an interesting post about finding money in his pocket. Check it out & then check your pockets!!!
In case your interested, I found £1.73 in a coat pocket that I haven't worn since last winter. Yipee!!!

Pizza Price Index Update 1
Well, I think it's time to update my Pizza Price Index. It's been over a month now so it will be interesting to see if there has been any changes. DailySpends has reported an increase of over 8 pence! Here goes...
Ingredients Prices (as of 10/06/08)
ASDA SmartPrice Plain Flour: £0.12
ASDA SmartPrice Chopped Tomatoes: £0.11
ASDA Mozzarella: £1.79
Onion: £0.04
ASDA SmartPrice Chicken Breast Fillets: £1.14
ASDA Thick-Cut Unsmoked Bacon: £0.64
My Pizza Price Index as of 10/06/08 = £3.84
There you have it! My total price has actually decreased by £0.14. When you look at the details, you see that most ingredients have risen slightly & a few have stayed the same. It is only the bacon that has fallen dramatically. I contacted DailySpends regarding this & it seems that everything in his pizza had risen too, with the exception of ham - which had fallen.
Tip for the week: Eat pork. It's cheaper!

Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas: £3.20

Return of the Ma..BudgetQue...... I'm Back!!!
Sorry to all my dedicated readers for the delay in this post. You will be pleased to know that I am now officially back!
Last month wasn't so great. I overspent by £7.34. It's not that much, but I am more upset that I wasn't able to keep a good run going. Even so, this has made me even more determined this month. So far I have managed to spend only £4.20 - an excellent start.
Here's to the rest of the month...
