... Did anyone reply to my question about using chard? I have loads of the stuff which is a bit too mature to put in a baby leaf salad! Do you cook it like spinach? I don't want to waste it. ...

here's a thread that might help, Moniker, Chard - help need recipes!!

I'll add it to the complete cooking collection tonight as we have nothing at all on chard and its in season right now

I had a great time taking part in the Grocery Challenge and would like to take up the challenge again in September.

Please could I be put down for £80 for 2 adults. I will be away for the first week in September but Mr SFT will still be taking part.
Thanks

SFT

Morning everyone - logging on to declare total for AUG GC £228.15, really pleased as I had increased target to £300 as I thought we would use more with the kids being on Hols but I didn't allow for the fact that I wouldn't be paying out for School Dinners and also decided to use up the contents of one of my Freezers which has also helped keep the total down.:j Oh and also using salad, potatoes etc from the Garden has been a big help.:D

MRSMC - can you please put me down for SEPT £250.

Good luck to everyone and I'll see you on the Sept GC when it's up and running.;)

MRS M could you put me down for £155 for Sept and Failed for Aug.
I lost the plot during Aug but even though I put failed for Aug I'm not too disapointed because I know that if I had not been on the GC I would have spent alot more. Note to self try harder next month.
Going to make a list of freezer and try and use as much from there as poss.

I'm doing rather well so far I have resisted the urge to go to the shops on my way home :j

I've asked Mr FH to buy kitchen roll, milk, yoghurt and bread today so will report on how much that cost later. I did warn him not to be tempted by extras, but I'm not sure he will :rolleyes:
