I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Sessie

Reduced cottage pies from T3sco (down to £0.85 from £2.30!!) with some bagged veg, bit of grated cheese on top and gravy, all from stores, for Mr Sessie and the children tonight. I stuck to porridge as my broken tooth is still quite precarious.

Going to dentist tomorrow so fingers crossed it can be repaired rather than yanked out! :eek:

Also got 4 boxes of popcorn (to make up, 4 bags in each box) for the children from a local sweet factory shop for 50p per box so that huge £2 spend will keep us in "Movie Fridays" for the next 16 weeks! :T

Freezer movements today - in 1 cooked sausage. Out - gammon and 2 HM muffins.
For dinner we had a sausage stir fry - well mainly veggie . It is a case of hunt the sausage. It was yummy though.

Food Challenge Idea:
'Pound-a-Day-for-a-Month'
£1 per day per person on food, for a month.
So, £30 per person in a typical month. Not limited to a maximum of £1 per day (now that would be interesting!) as long as the total for the month isn't more than £30.
Is that do-able, for any, some or a lot of you? I just thought it would be an interesting challenge to extend the '£10-for-a-week' idea over a longer period, and tighten up the budget too. Maybe see what people's experiences of how easy or difficult the '£10' challenge is first?
I'm up for it, anyway

I'd be up for that. Would need a bit of planning for DSs milk intolerance but otherwise a good idea.

Lynsey hope that's the last of the mice, I would have thought they would have just come back aswell if you used a humane trap.

I think they dont come back if you release them further away.

I've yet to face adding up February spends. Must do it tho it will be painful! I'm just finding life taking over a bit at the moment.

Morning all.

I've seen evidence of spring coming. The daffodils want to make an appearance. Hopefully these cold spells won't last much longer.

Yesterday was salmon and mushroom pasta bake. Enjoyed that with a nice salad. Had a sneaky mouthful of it before I went to bed and it tastes even better cold so looking forward to having it again for dinner... yummmm. Not sure about tea as ds is with the folks so it's just me. Will probably be spicy sausages or something.

Will have to do the challenge from last Sunday now as I spent £4.50 in Asda yesterday lol.

I'd love to do this £30 a month challenge but I'm afraid I'd fail miserably unless I did a big shop the day before I start it lol.

Morning all, no more mice caught and hopefully resolved. I'll leave the traps in place for a few more nights, just in case.

just trying- SPC HERE
Worth doing and nice surprise at the end.

Only the £1 spent yesterday on the Jaffa cakes and NSD today. Another £1 planned for tomorrow on milk.

Tesco mini burgers in pasta bake later - hope I can stomach them!! lol
They have been nice in the past though.

Welsh Poppy - I'll be running around on Sunday getting the TCB stuff and doubling up.

I am staying away from all Tesco burgers and ready meals, good luck Lynsey with the pasta lol.

I'm going to investigate click and snap ser if there is anything I need, not going to buy unnecessary stuff, unless It's free obv.

Lipstick, so it wasn't Lynsey with.the itchy palms, it was you! Haha.

Yesterday for dinner I had a pulled pork sandwich in a roll, both from freezer, with spinach and green beans, which were bought yesterday from the market, I need butter or spread, will only buy in a deal.

I made the fruit leather, the peach turned out really good, the strawberry not so good,.so I put it in the freezer.

MNR - I er realised, that you'd probably need our support next week when you do the challenge. Wouldn't want you to do it on your own now would we?

Lynsey - can't you release the mice in the countryside? Or better still Tesco?

Pamsy

Morning all. Freezer sorted, ashamed to say that I found a box of faggots dated Nov11, think these will have to go in bin on bin day. Taken out for today, a quiche dated Sept 12 and some salmon fillets dated Oct 12, think these should be ok. No plans for a supermarket shop this week, will use small local shops that way no temptation for adding more stuff to freezer.

They came from the countryside ......................... probably via Tesco!!

Pasta bake made, added extra onions and extra herbs. lol
Extra cheese also when finishing off.
I don't think I could stomach a Findus lasagne for a while and used to like them.
