January 2011 Grocery Challenge

esmer

Just a question really, when you ask to be added to the challenge, should your name appear on the first few posts? I requested to be added but my name is not there, so incase I have been missed.

Can you put me down for 40.00 Weekly for January. please

Hi all - Happy New Year

Please can we be put down for £500 per month - that's a family of 6. This is basically everything brought at the supermarket for all of us.

Thank you. Will look through the recipes later - we have 4 carnivores and 2 veggies to cope with. Looking for a few meals that everyone will eat that are pretty cheap to form the backbone - I'll let you know which I find as I report back

Hi all, ((((hugs)))) to everyone who needs them.

I've spent £4.75 today and done a meal plan and ordered a Tesco delivery for tomorrow.

I'm trying to slowly include more organic and free range products in our menu, whilst spending less, so it's going to be a challenge! On the other hand, £400 a month for 4 adults and a cat is very generous, so should be easy in theory.

Good luck and happy new year all.

Corrrr blimey this has been busy hasn't it ....

Good afternoon all
Hello to all the newbies :T -Im sure this is the most people participating I have ever seen

Esmer.... I haven't missed you, you are on the "monthly section" -but if I do ever miss you (I always miss someone -PM me and give me a nudge;))

Well folks .... I did it :j -I lost 1.5lbs today -so its 100lbs gone :j-now on to whats left :rotfl:

Anyhoo -back onto grocery matters and -well -you see, it was like this we nipped to the naffi and I spotted packs with 4 huge pork chops in -whoopse to €1.20 -so I grabbed both pack and have frozen them individually, bags of parsnips -whoopsed to 40c so 2 of them have been peeled and wedged in the freezer, and finally a pack of 4 rather big n scrummy looking potato/bubble n squeak cakes whoopsed to 70c so I have another€3.90 to add on to my signature ...

I have used up the sorry looking potatoes, onions, carrots and swede today and made hubby a big pan of cornedbeef hash to have for lunches the next few day -I swear you would think I was serving him fillet steak :rotfl:-he is easy to please:p.
He has requested though that I make some of it later in the week into "calzone" for him to take to work... don't know where he comes up with these ideas -but I think it might work well.
Sorry whoever asked(think it was redmel) about the remoska calzones the other day I forgot to answer ..... I use the baguette dough I make and bake them in the oven as it needs misting with water as it bakes -so he only has to re-heat them in the remoska at work,,, I hope you grow to love your remoska -I love mine they are my fave kitchen gadget

right -enough waffle -I will get off and update the list again..
Hope everyone is safe n warm... we have had some more over night to add to the 2ft we allready have ...

Very well done :T

£23.00 spend today on nibbles (I know...) some drinks and some cleaning things I needed including Astonish for the oven.

I think I have a cold coming though so looking forward to my super warming stew with some mash potato for dinner tonight.

Mrs Mc- Well done! I wish I could shift some. Unfortunately the tablets I'm on at the mo makes it a bit impossible! Well done though! You must be so proud!

Anyway have a good day all I'm off for a mooch round the boards!
