mothershipton

hi, massively overbudget, yet again, £405. But there are once again, two freezers, and a cupboard full. Have banned husband from shops again ! and am hoping once the garden starts producing food the bills might go down a bit. I need to get into the habit of doing some baking to keep the hungry boys out of the fridge. off to junes board with a higher budget,

Declaring £248.66 which is £108.66 over budget. In my defence though alot of this has been alcohol as it was on special offer. Have now got enough for the OH to last him through the world cup!

Hello all,

Finally getting round to adding up my last few purchases of May (have been away/busy for over a week), and my final grocery total is £124.01, so overspent by £4.01!

Not too bad I suppose, but must do better in June. All a bit complicated as DH still in hospital, but I'll post my new goal on the June page.
Will meanwhile update my sig.

Still over budget! I really have to knuckle down this month and try and keep the foody bill right down as my cupboards are well stocked but my fridge looks very sad with a few wilting vegetables and eggs and more eggs courtesy of "the gals".
I'm declaring at a ridiculously high figure of £304.98 for May and after reading through how other people have also overspent then I can only suggest that it was something in the air!
See you on the June challenge;)

I have a few packet cake mixes that i've got from Approved foods, and wondered if i'd chucked a bit of fruit of some sort in would they work the same?

I don't want to eat cake for cake's sake if you get what i mean. I'd rather it be a little healthy.

I think i've got Devil's food cake and Angel cake, and scone mix (but i know i can add fruit to that, obviously).
