August 2008 Grocery Challenge

Thanks Egon, I am just back from buying them. I also picked up Cross and Blackwell Chick peas in a Massalla sauce, BOGOF (they also had soya beans in Mediteranian sauce), DH likes things like this to take to work for his lunch if there isn't leftovers from our evening meal or if I've not made a salad for him.

Afternoon all,
Angelnikki, can you please put me down for August with a budget of £170.
I will have a small budget this month as we are away for 2 weekend and the food has been taken care of (Eating out thanks to Mr T!!).:T
I wish everyone else well for this month. I am hoping, like many on here, to use up lots of bits and pieces that have been lurking in the freezer.

Hello everyone. Good luck to you all with the August challenge.

Stick me down for £200 again. We did so well in July I reckon we can easily make that in August but as its our first full month of the challenge I'm sticking to a 'sensible' target. My month will be 1 August to 31 August

I'd like to join in with you all - could I try for £150 in August for me and the dog? I know this sounds too much but I have no idea what I spend now - I should be a lot wiser by September!

Never done this challenge before, but I'm keen to give it a go. No real idea of what will be a challenge so put me down for £300 and I'll see how it goes

Hi everyone :hello:

Just wanted to post to show you my first attempt at HM bread.

I used the Hovis white bread mix which is 29p @ MrT (Hovis granary mix 34p) and made 1 1lb loaf and 4 bread rolls with it.

Gonna have HM butternut squash soup and HM bread rolls for dinner tonight yummy yummy :drool:

Looks tasty. Well done. Made my first HM toad in the hole last night and the batter mix worked lovely. Not up to making bread yet :eek:
