Still not had a big spend,DH gets milk daily,I bought fruit,sprouts,carrots and mushrooms today.
Sausages out of freezer so made toad in the hole with roast potato and cabbage(that DS brought down just after Christmas!).Wrinkly eating apples and blackberries out of freezer,topped with crumble mix(made before Christmas)topped with out of date creme fraiche-yummy lunch.Just right for today as it is a gloomy day here.
BUT the snow has mostly gone.
Pork ribs,Indian pakora etc selection(freezer again)and instant rice(donated by Mum from her Chrimble stash)for tea tonight.
Faggots yesterday-nomnom,freezer again-are you now getting the drift?
Slow cooked chicken and loads of veg earlier in week(same shop)that lasted for 4 days-spot the feathers:rotfl:
Lamb chops tomorrow and will need to make more bread,last loaf was Thurs and made pizza at same time.
Leek and potato soup to start next week,curry from shop-in-the-shed.(aka freezer)

Hey ho another week but with very little spent,still got pots and onions in stock and green stuff in freezer.

Back again. As I knew how much we had left to spend this month I used mysupermarket again and have just done a Mr S order for next Friday so that I can use the £10 off voucher they gave me. Estimate is 25.25 which will just squeak me in under budget. Signature updated.

We have been shopping and stivking to my list religiously but my husband was adding things in we went to Mr T for coffee with 50% extra and peach water and oven chips spent 8.00.
Then on to Mr Morrisons stuck to list not as many bargains around and veg seems very expensive although weigh watches malted bread 2 for a pound and tastes nice. but cauli 1.30 seems outrageous spent 46.00 and on track with budget .I have updated signature just need to be careful next 2 weeks.
Will be looking at Mt Aldi and Lidl for bargains.

So far this month 131.00 out of 200 budget so happy about that.
Good luck everyone:T

Heard on ther raiod caulis could be up to £2.00 n some places due to the frozen ground and difficulty in picking.

Have to admit tho I have 'freezer envy' I only have a small freezer, and would love to be able to store more, but unfortunately no room No fair, I want a shed with a freezer in it LOL!!!

I tend to just copy and paste which can be a bit of a faff tbh, but you can hit the square button to the right of the 'Quote' button on all the posts you want to quote and then press 'Quote' - it should bring all the quotes up in one message for you to edit.

Maybe I'll try it myself next time
