Budget, week 5

Another week's shopping, another overspend! Maybe its just not realistic to try to keep to a £50 week budget. In my defense, this week's shop included a rare treat of some fillet beef which I planned to have  on Sunday and some chicken on special offer for the freezer.

The plan for this week is as follows -
