    Good afternoon all.

    Thanks MrsM for putting me down for both monthly and annually and I promise to be very good and extra frugal this month:rolleyes:. Good luck to everyone.

    Have taken the £300 out and put in my grocery purse, this should keep me on track.

    Hello Mrs. M. can you put me down for £180 please?
    I've got a personal challenge this month, to see how cheaply I can get some nice coffee like Gold Blend or Kenco.

    Just a thought, can anyone please let me know how much the reasonable minced beef is please?
    I haven't bought any for a while as it was too much, but I'm missing shepherd's pie with cheesy mash.

    Hi, I get my minced beef lean from our local butchers which is £1-49 per 1lb. The extra lean stuff is a bit extra. HTH's

    Gold Blend is about £3 in Morissons at the moment and the MAHOOSIVE jars of Kenco also in Morissons have 50% extra free and are less than £5 IIRC.

    Hope that helps!
