December 2009 Grocery Challenge

Coxy11

Hi everyone,

MrT has just been and the total was £95. They didn't have the roast beef joint that I'd ordered and didn't substitute, but apart from that the two substitutions (scampi/kievs) were fine (and price-matched) and everything else was there.

I've made a meal plan up to 22nd January which is when our GC ends. Will need to get f&v, bread and the roast beef, but apart from that will try to live off what I have in (famous last words). Found a portion of minced beef and two lamb chump chops in no. 2 freezer, which are extras for this month.

Turkey leftovers (again) tonight along with cheese and biscuits.

Good luck for January everyone.

Evening everyone

Budgets noted up to and including skintbint - thank you everyone

Welcome to our new people - don't forget to check out the great recipes posted by Rosieben on page 1 and set yourself a realistic budget that you can achieve and then reduce it bit by bit every month until you are happy with it. No-one fails on here - we just look, learn and move on.
