I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Lynsey

Morning all, looks like a nice day here.

Spends yesterday:
Tesco:
2 x 80 Punjana tea-bags @ £1 = £2
10 x mushy peas @ 4p = 40p
4 x Heinz 5 beans @ 85p = £3.40
Used 4 x 85p beans coupons (minus £3.40)
Total = £2.40

Sainsbury's:
Meat feast pizza reduced to 64p = 64p

Days total = £3.04

Also got my free Coke from Boot and 2 x L'Oreal deodorants - if using 2 Coke coupons together another 60p comes off total (got some paracetamol for free).

Porridge soon, another stir fry for myself and hubby is having fish and chips.

Off to Morries today as we have to take Brother to Ferry Port and will get some more beans. Hoping to get at least 20 tins of beans this week (14 so far) and donate 20 tins this weekend.

I'm trying not to buy for the freezers for 2 weeks, well as little as possible as I will need frozen peas and I would like some ice-cream lollies for the "summer".

I'm not too sure if you are aware, but it's LESS than 16 weeks to Xmas now.
I'm going to start next week getting just a few things per week and "stashing" - think I'll be looking at pickles, olives, chutneys etc first.

Soworried - your "kids" are back to school today - stay strong and wishes from myself.

Hope everyone and their families are well.

Enjoy the sun.

Thankyou Lynsey, I just had a weak moment the other day when I posted that.
I gave myself a kick the next morning.
I have arranged to meet the head of our HR team this afternoon. I want to ask about starting to do some reports again. Maybe a few mystery shops, with a view to building up to less duties full time. Like run one store type thing. I have nothing to lose by asking and a lot to potentially gain. It is my first sick leave in 10 years.

Anyway, back on topic. Thankyou for the reminder about xmas. :cool::rotfl:

Out today has come a pork joint to make in to curry tonight. It will have veggies added as I need to use some up as well.
Breakfast is cereal. In the voice of Cilla, suprise, suprise. :cool:
Lunch, I am eating out on HR's budget and the kids have cash from a seperate budget.

Looks another lovely day here. :j

Soworried - is part of your job Mystery Shopping??
I would love to have done that.

10 years no sick?? You're entitled to it then.

I managed 12 business premises and all that that entails. As well as travelling to help other areas all over the country. I have been sick before as well. It was only for 2 days though, that has been it in my 20 working years.
I find mystery shops annoying, that is because I tend to find them doing what they shouldn't be. :cool:

We are meeting at Metro centre so I am going to hit MrA loaded down with coupons.

Lynsey

I'm going to the Metro Centre tomorrow and then off for 3 course Italian later - not much needed tomorrow. lol
What coupons are you using in Asda??
I might use some Greene's one's and pass on the stuff ............. oh and some more beans!!!
I'll get some more Coke tomorrow.

Beans and Greens go without saying. :rotfl:
Nair £1 off ones. L'oreal ones. Lenor infusions.
I am also going to grab a couple of bags of 50pk cocktail sausage rolls. They reduced them to 50p yesterday. The frozen ones. They will come in handy for xmas buffetts.
I am hoping that they have some Vanish oxi action 750ml intelligence plus pre-wash as they have went to 2p and some times the staff are slow to remove them from sale.

Lynsey

Soworried - good luck with that lot!!

I think my printer will be going on the sick soon.

Catch up later.
