December 2008 Grocery Challenge

You could slice the chicken breast and the peppers, chop the potato into small cubes and fry them together (do you have onion, ginger, garlic or summat like worcestershire sauce that you can add?), or dip them into the egg and then into flour or breadcrumbs before frying.

Penny-Pincher!!

OH just popped to Sainsburys local and got 3 TTD Fishpies (40p each), large TTD Shepherds Pie (40p), 2 lots of chicken thigh FR (30p), 12 packets of berries for smoothies (15p each and will be frozen), 2 x bread (20p Warburton), Sushi (20p) 3 x Tikka Massala Meals (20p each), 2 x TTD sausages (20p), scones (20p)....so about 19 main meals there and in all came to £8.97 as I needed a couple of other bits...yippee!!

I have been ill with the vomitting flu thing that has been going around and OH has been living on takeaways so the budget has been well and truly blown. I am going to declare at £250.This includes £79 I spent in Mr S stocking up on store cupboard stuff to use my £9 off a £60 shop. I havent kept a track of exactly what we have spent this last week or so so this is a bit of a guesstimate.
Please can you put me down for £200 for january. Hopefully this will be third month lucky for me and I will come in on budget.

Quick question for all you GC challengers - I stockpiled the litre bottles of savers 'brand' washing up liquid that the stores were selling for around 14p. However, my stockpile of this item has almost disappeared and I can't seem to find anymore. Have the stores all withdrawn it or is it just my local one? Depending on which store, it was priced around 13p to 15p for the big bottle. Help! Cheapest I can find here now is 50p :eek:

Oops! I forgot to write my next month's target in red, so here it is - NYK Media - £100 for January target

Well the only place I can find it now is my largish Co-op! cost of 19p so I buy 4 at a time.
