    :DPay Day Today!!

    So I have just been to the big T to do food shop - a
    spent £55 out of our £120 budget for the month - lots of tins, also 2 boxes of cat food and some cat crunchies.

    Very pleased with getting £42.13 worth of meat for just £19.00 :D which will do loads of meals - put it all in the freezer. i got-

    Raw King Prawns
    Organic king prawns
    turkey breast stir fry x 2
    steak mince
    12 cumberland sausages (good make) x 2
    scampi
    tuna steaks
    mini chicken breasts x 2
    organic beef mince

    So that is at least 14 meals :-)
    Also have a cooked cottage pie in the freezer, i bought a reduced pizza, a steak pie so thats another 3 meals = 17 meals - we are away this weekend but food paid by parents for grans birthday :-)

    so i pretty much have 17 meals sorted for the month. also will do stuff like beans on toast/jacket potatoes.

    Really please with all the reduced stuff - makes such a different as my brother has meat most days.

    Not much to report today - feeling a little low but i really shouldnt be. I think its because it is my day off work and ive been at a loss as to what to do with myself!!

    and looking forward to work tomorrow!!

    caught up on some washing and got a few bits from home bargains.:)

    The house needs a good clean but maybe later in the week!!........:D
