September 2008 Grocery Challenge. Please read first two posts.

I haven't been round much and I've managed to lose my receipts so I'm just going to start again in October's challenge.
Please put me down for £250 again for October.

Hi all very chuffed as only spent another £28 on top so final tally came in at £135/ £150am off to add up for next month.

Hiya Pink Princess:

here's the recipe for texmex skillet: It's a slight variation because it's one of my american recipes and I don't have proper measurements, although it's easy to throw in whatever and it'll turn out just fine.

spicy sausage (of any type - you can use turkey, beef, pork or veggie ones)
chilli powder
cumin
1 can tomato soup
1/4 can of water (from the tomato soup can)
regular long grain rice (value works great)
can of corn
1 can beans (any kind - kidney work best)

cut up the sausage and cook in a big frying pan or pot. Add the spices (sorry no measurements, just to your own taste). Add the can of soup, water, and rice. cover and Cook until the rice is tender. add the corn and beans. heat through. Voila! Done!

Chicken Hurry is easy peasy: (sorry for this it's also an american recipe so the measurements are in cups!)

21/2 - 3 lbs of chicken parts (thighs, wings, drumsticks, whatever)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
one packet of onion soup mix (the dry ones in the envelopes)

Mix all the ingredients and pour over chicken. bake in a covered dish on 180c
for about an hour. I serve with rice and green beans or corn. Yummy!

for measurements - 1 cup is about 250ml. hope that helps!

I'd like to declare at £210.23 much better than I expected earlier in the month:j



Off to the October thread...........

Despite having a £50 tesco gift card earlier this month we are still over by £26!!! So we are declaring at £376 for September . Must try harder! :mad:
