Hi, You asked where you could save money and I would reckon there is quite a few convenience items that you could reproduce cheaper. Like premade salad, pre prepped rice and veg, and even pizzas. You would need to figure out do you have a budget and how important is it to make the saving like is it to pay debt or other bills or to save towards a holiday cos tbh maybe convenience is a luxury that really helps you out in life, and also alot of the stuff you brought, like wine, cheese picnic, eclairs etc you could miss you and not buy them , but those things can bring joy and also some down time when you have a kid, so maybe the cost of that saves you looking to go to a pub to relax etc. So basically, you bought the stuff that looked like would help out for the week ahead and you didnt go in on a mission to stick to a budget, so thats why it was high, and also why you now arent worried about smelly lunchboxes and know you have ginger cake and cheese picnics to look forward too when something else breaks in life and causes stress 😀

Good points well made! Yes I agree and also agree that the shortcuts are worth it for me for making life easier. I think the thing that confused me was it was so much more expensive than an average week but I only bought wine and a lunchbox extra 🤷‍♀️ guess it all just adds up!
