August 2011 Grocery Challenge

Hello, I haven't been on here for a while, i've been very busy as we are supposed to be moving out this week! Spend 86.94 since I last updated, which leaves me with 193.87 for the rest of the month. I'll need to defrost my freezer before the big move, so I'll be trying to use everything up this week which should cut down on my spending.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping to budget!

I've just realised I'm not down for this month, think I posted my budget at the end of last month's thread ??
Anyway, I'm definitely in, could you put me down for £250 please!!

Good morning everyone,

well have now sixteen fishcakes in freezer. Also making banana muffins this morning as noticed bananas in fruit bowl looking very ripe and there is now way I will eat them up. So rather than see them go to waste....
Trying to organise bits and bobs for packed lunches this week. Muffins will be frozen and carried in lunch box.
Hope to pop into a**i later to pick up supersix. Think there are peppers and potatoes on this week.

Hope everyone saves a little today.

I'm now left with £153.88 for the rest of the month.

Third time in 5 weeks: Popped into Mr T's metro to fill petrol and just had a quick look at the discount shelves:

The Mild Indian Meal for Two Takeaway down from £6.76 to £1.76!!!
Bag contains: Chicken-tikka Masala, CHicken Korma, Bombay Potatoes, Pilau Rice and Naan bread.

Now that, my friends, is a good saving! All times, I've gone in around 6:30pm on a Sunday evening. Hope this helps! Oh! And it's much better than the one you get in AS DA which is slightly cheaper.

OK. Totally lost track this month. Have been doing some winter stocking up and lost some receipts. Think I'll be well over but at least we'll have something to eat when we get snowed in :rotfl:

HIGHLAND FLING , like the sound of your fishcakes, do you use equal quantities of fish to potato, roll them in breadcrumbs, defrost before cooking??? actually what i am after is the darn recipe!

thank you:beer:
