March 2010 Grocery Challenge

earthmother

Another week gone - and almost on track.

Spent about £10 more than I'd hoped this week - but the meal plan hasn't exactly gone to plan due to poorly kids, so I'm replacing some things sooner than expected, and have others still sitting in the freezer a week after they should have been used.

Total spend to date is now £230.27 - which leaves just under £50 for the next 2 weeks - so long as no-one else succumbs to this bug that's doing the rounds, I should be ok with it, as under normal conditions it's only for milk, fruit and bread.

NSD yesterday but spent £13.06 today - mostly on food for mothers day as my grown up children are coming over for dinner. Should be the other way round but I will enjoy seeing them and they will come armed with chocs and flowers even if I say don`t.

total left for rest of month £50.85 from total of £140.00.

Well done everyone you all seem to be doing great.

£1.99 spent in Sainsburys today - went to look for the chickens, but couldn't even see a price on the shelf, nevermind any chickens! Oh well. I might have a look in Coop tomorrow, although would be buying one because they're on offer, not because I need one and that kind of defeats the point of all this

Picked up a packet of wraps and a bag of frozen fruit salad to try, no idea what that will be like, but left it in the freezer at work so will try some on Monday.

I did get a packet of ice lollies for myself and a colleague which i'm not counting as they were a little treat for us after a crappy week!

I have had 3 NSDs in a row ... I am so proud
Unfortunately tomorrow is a 6 Nations day, which means pub and beer in Wales :beer: - although that comes out of my entertainment budget and 'eating is cheating' so I'll probably have another GC NSD!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Another little spend today of £8 odd on coleslaw for the pizzas tonight, some Aldi diet coke, cucumber & tomatoes, apples, buns & rice puddings. Might do some more baking tomorrow. Made a lovely gluten free banana loaf the other day which tasted completely normal!

Slowandsteady - hope you had a good time at the greyhound racing. My OH & I went the other weekend to Nottingham & had a great night. Even after entrance, bets, drinks & a curry afterwards, we still cleared about £25 profit so hope you were as lucky.

Another no spend day.....so far managing to do one main shop a week and one fruit and milk top up! My worst time is at the weekend when I feel I deserve a treat! Sometimes I get confused between the GC and WW:o Having the willpower to succeed!

looie

Hi all, teeny spend for me today. 65p for 4 pints of milk I got my mum some milk too but I've not included that as it wasn't for us.

Signature updated

Quick Update: I spent 17.11 in MrW today, bringing my pot for the month down to 97.85. Not doing brilliantly but could be worse
