BWAHAHAHAHA! :rotfl:

Just used some of the ready mix dough I got in T's yesterday, made four cookies and put the rest back. Can probably get about eight cookies out of each tub and the tubs are nice to use for individual freezer portion stuff, so a win win all the way

Oh my lord - you are so disciplined!!!

Need to empty the freezer of stuff that we've been carting through two house moves Had a quorn lamb fillet toasted sandwich for lunch as there was only one left and I don't really like them, lol, and bought baps the other day to use up two burgers in the freezer left over from the summer - will also use some bacon from fridge & cheese slices hanging around with fries also from the freezer.
Also used up 4 overripe frozen banana's in some baby friendly banana muffins Unfortunately just had to replace them as didn't eat the fresh banana's in time - goddamit.
Have a LOAD of puff pastry to use up, though I suppose it's not too early for hm mince pies

I do that eat things that I don't like rather than throw them away - DH looks at me as if I am incredibly stupid, but I don't see him complaining when the shopping bill is smaller lol

Just had the shopping delivered, £32.30 (2 adults) for the week and that includes feeding two dogs and 4 cans of beer for one of the horses. I can remember spending over £100 per week before I took a serious look at exactly what I was spending my money on.

Hm ham flan for tea, chocolate chip brownies afterwards, they are busy cooking as I write - smell delish.... recipe from Mary Berry.

Freezers not emptying fast enough but on a positive note the slower they empty the more I have to make meals without spending too much. 'swings and rounderbouts'

Tin opener broke today- sad

WOW how do you do that - does your horse really drink beer?

Dinner sounds lovely

I hve made the same observation - although we are eating out of kitchen there is no dent in our supplies...long may that continue!!

Spaghetti & Meatballs tonight
Last night's cake or jelly for pud

Isn't beer good for horses coats? In the same way it adds shine if we rinse ours with beer? Or am I just drunk? lol

Just decided tomorrow nights dinner is pasta (already in cupboard) with freezer Ikea meatballs (yum) and cheese sauce. Sorted Just need whole milk for little madam tomorrow!

Considering I put together a £130 shopping list on mysupermarket.com I'm doing pretty well without buying much on it!!

Evening all

lemmings1986 - welcome to the thread, hope you do well - good luck.

No luck with my till spits today, only got 1 and that was for a £10 off £50 online spend!! Tried 3 times between us.
There's always tomorrow. lol

Bought today:
6 x Heinz 5 Beans @ 2 for £1.50 = £4.50
Iced coffee Madeira cake @ £1
Bertolli @ 95p
2 x Dried onions (reduced) @ 25p per box = 50p
Sub total = £6.95
Used 6 x Heinz coupons (scanned @ 85p each) and 1 Bertolli (50p) - minus £5.60
Total = £1.35

BTW - Heinz 5 Beanz are now 5 tins for £3 in Tesco - you'll save £1.25 off your shop if you use 5 coupons and get a good till op.

Hey all.

Did a really good shop £21.98 down to £8.98 after coupons, got a tub of celebrations had a £3 voucher, ww meal x2 packs of frankfurters, a bag of value frozen mixed berries, a pack of clems, special k crisps, 2 bottles of copella,2 5 beans and some other stuff, I used £12 worth of coupons and a till spit, my best bargain was Campbell's 4 pack of cup a soup for 10p got 10 but i put o.e at 71p in, was heading out, so I changed it for 7 of the 10p packs instead, all flavours, asparagus, cream of chicken, cream of.tom, ministone, potato and leek, so my donations for December look good, also gave the 2 boxes a boost, will take some to my grams for her church donations, also one pack was out of date, will take that back and I could only use one frankfurters coupon.

Really busy day, with aot of Jobs done, shopping and boxercise, ended up in the jacuzzi lush!

Have taken out 4 pittas and some cheesy haddock, will make something with that tomorrow, also got some Bacon from my grandma yesterday, so no more shopping needed this week.

Ms night ryder - I'm impressed with the total amout of your shop. I thought I did well with mine but it's not in the same class as yours - brill...

Sorry folks - This one drinks his beer. Well it actually acts as a mild laxative, he's 18yrs and has a bit of trouble in that department, so to prevent him having colic he has half a can a day, however, he's very discerning in the taste, nothing cheap, it has to be dark and very 'hoppy' one thing he does do is to stick his tongue out afterwards, he likes it being tickled - things we do for our pets!!:rotfl:we had another one that drank orange juice straight out of the carton, but then again he was Spanish. lol

ms_night_ryder

Pretty much learnt it from robinha lol, would have been cheaper if I hadn't panicked at the last min and added stuff lol, also if they accepted ny other coupon, at least I'm done for the week Lol, happy about that.

Morning all, well the boys are away fishing so we'll see later how they get on. Going to do some baking with the girls in a while, when they eventually decide to get up and get dressed and washed !!. Meal plan for today is brekkie-toast for me, girls probably cereal, lunch noodles or soup, tea either sausages and pasta or chicken stuffed with phili wraped in bacon with mashed tatties, mashed carrot and neep and cheese sauce decisions. Well that's the plan so far. Catch up later and have a nice day all.
