February 2011 Grocery Challenge

Equilibrium

Just popping on to change signature , 7 NSD out of 9 , very happy chick here :j:rotfl:. Now going to browse through the recipe index , and print a few off for inspiration . I started Weigh watchers this week and know i will have to get a few specific things, but hopefully it wont be too much of a price difference compared to what i normally get.

Hope everyone is doing well , This month is going by quickly, cant believe there is only 2 and a bit weeks left of the month.

£6.27 spent at Mr T yesterday on bananas, apples, soup, yogurt and cereal. Bought the 3 for 2 offer on cereal and put one box away into my June box.

I had to give DH some cash for his lunch today as the bread failed in the breadmaker again. I definatley but everything in in the correct order but it was like a leaden lump so no bread for sandwiches:(

No time to catch up with the thread this morning as I have a job interview this afternoon I only found out about late yesterday and I have a presentation to prepare for it:eek: Will catch up tonight.

I thought I would manage a NSD today but I need some onions because I want to make soup this evening. But I will enter the shop and come out with just onions! Ds no3 made couscous in cookery yesterday and I have brought it in for my lunch today. I now have all my ingredients so tomorrow I plan to make the doner kebab from The Takeaway Secret.

My signature makes sorry reading but it was my first month back on the challenge. We live and learn!

good luck with your interview spender


another nsd for me, my washing machine broke yesterday so i need to go collect a new one on fri which has completely cleaned me out it's not that long since my dryer broke either so i will really have to cut down for the next few months now, i'm going to go shopping on fri and stock up on bread and bread flour and milk for the freezer and just not go shopping again, other than maybe one trip to the farm shop or market for fruit, theres always something eh

Went to Tesco to do a shop yesterday and thought some of you might be interested in the price of Tescos strong white bread flour. It's gone down to 50p a 1.5kg bag!:T I bought 3 bags and shall stock up on some more next week if it's still at that price.

Was hoping for a NSD today, but I need some double cream, I AM going to show some restraint and just go into the shop and only buy that

Morning all-not doing brilliantly this month as have only got £52 pounds in the budget for the rest of the month-don't see it lasting! Will try my best though

Hi all,

Keeping the spending down fairly well, although I did splurge on a piece of fillet (:o) steak at the weekend :eek: but it was soooo worth it (haven't had one for months).

Despite that I'm in a better position than this point in previous months, only(!) 19 days till payday and spent less than half of my budget :rotfl:(well it's better than last month!)

I'm in Manchester friday night so need to keep my GC head on, no spontaneous chinese buffets etc (unless OH wants to treat me of course ).

I might try a super-minimalist shop this weekend and see how much I can use my storecupboard and frzr (it's like a freezer, only smaller ).

Off to the recipe list I go! :T
