FEBRUARY 2023 BUDGET WITH ME 📆💸 || Penny-a-Day Savings Challenge Update || Green Tea, Please

I done my weekly shop in Lidl this week as i had £5 off a £40 spend. Honestly can’t believe how expensive it was! Actually think i wouldve been cheaper going to tesco x

[@LaurenGreenTeaPlease]

Im so glad someone else has noticed how much more expensive Lidl is at the moment. I know it’s not a lot compared to some places, but it bothers me, I feel like it’s not a budget supermarket anymore hahah! Nearly everything on my receipt is in the £££ now, when most of what I bought used to be under a pound. 🙄😅 x

@@LaurenGreenTeaPlease definitely! I was honestly so so shocked. Didnt seem much when i was putting stuff in the trolley, but even with the £5 off when i got to the till I couldve passed out😂 things are so hard atm i really dont know how some people dont seem to be struggling at all x

Me again lol, how is your phone bill so cheap? Do you buy the phone outright? If so, how often do you buy a new one? Do you try make it last a few years xx

[@LaurenGreenTeaPlease]

😃 yeah, I bought my current phone in 2020, and I’m trying to save for a new one now. But it’s not essential I get a new one, so I’d rather just take my time and save to buy the phone outright, rather than be committed to a £50 contract for 2 years (plus deposit). 😂😂 my contract did used to be £17, but managed to get it down to £14 with more data too!
