February 2011 Grocery Challenge

Hi everyone. Hope you are all ok. Sorry to hear about your sad loss Helen.

For the first time ever, Tes*o sent me four £8 off £40 spend vouchers. I don't use Tes*o anywhere near as much as I used to (which as we have booked a holiday curtosy of Tes*o for 5 of us in Spain this year you can tell it used to be a lot!) but anyway went there the other day to use the first one. I then got a till spit for £7 off a £50 spend - does anyone know if I spend £50plus can I use both at the same time?

By the way, when I was there I heard a supervisor talking to a checkout lady & she was soo rude to her, I felt like saying something in support of the checkout lady but it was probably best that I didn't,lol!

Got an email from Mr T last week about their "new" clubcard account. Went on to the website to check it all out and found I have £17.50 of unused vouchers :j

Called them up and I'll get them at the end of April which is fine cos I wasn't expecting any so it's a bonus.

Went to the most convenient, cheapest shop today, my freezer!! Who knew what was lurking in there. Anyone else have a sausage addiction???:o

So tonights dinner is corned beef (lurking in the fridge) whoopsied potato, turnip & carrot mash and some cabbage from the freezer.

2mo nite, going to Mum's so it'll be freezer surprise from her! Then on Sunday I'm going to do the slowcooked gammon in apple juice (Thanks to whoever posted that recipe)

I always eat better when I do GC


Hugs to all that need it

Evening everyone

Just wanted to say that I probably won't be on here much for the rest of the month as sadly my Dad passed away last night. He had been very ill in hospital but it has still come as a huge shock. I'm determined to keep a rough eye on what is being spent but to be honest I'm really not bothered if we spend too much this month. I hope you all keep on track with your NSD's and your budgets and remember

We don't fail, we look, we learn and we move on

There are no words that I can offer as comfort hun, but I am so very sorry for your loss

Helen so sorry to hear of your loss , my thoughts are with you and your family xx




NSD day today 3 out of 4 which is really good for me

really wanted sweet and sour chicken and rice for lunch , my local chinese takeaway does a lunchtime special one for £2.50 - i resisted :A and had dry wholemeal bread and 4 day old chicken tikka sandwich filling instead :cool:

I have made DH a small xmassy cake today for his birthday at the end of the month and i have overcooked it somewhat i think if i feed it a plentiful amount of brandy it might ressurect it

Morning all

Helen, sorry for your loss, big hugs x

PLEASE CAN YOU SIGN ME UP FEB GC FOR £375 - MANY THANKS. Have done first sm shop of the month this morning and spent £86.62 - will have to see how the rest of the month goes, did buy a few stocking up items that were on offer, so in the long run saving some pennies. Should be doing some baking/cooking not sitting on here!

Have a good weekend everyone, keep safe and well.
