Grocery Challenge - February 2012

Ninno820

Hi - numbers are fine with me as well. Like many others I really appreciate the effort that maintaining this thread takes.

Another NSD today and aiming for one tomorrow. Friday, however, sees a trip out to meadowh*ll so can't promise anything! On the GC front I have a mountain of M7S coupons / gift cards so am hoping that the whole experience has a nill cost. Don't particulalry need the food this month but dont get to go to a large M&S food store that often.

The end of January all went a bit pearshaped with the tax man asking for more than I expected him to:o so on to month two with renewed vigour.....

I did a freezer inventory last night (can you believe 7 pots of HM Broccoli soup and 5 gammon roasts :eek:)

BiL made an observation that made me think.... "if you dont use up whats in the freezer so you have space for the bargains then its false economy because all you are doing is paying to store things!" I hadnt thought of it that way before.... at least he cant object when he has broccoli soup every day for a month!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I thought I might have a go at using some of the soup as a pasta bake base (DS is a pastaholic!.:T:T:T

Evening all,
Two NSD to report up to yesterday. Went to Mr T's today for rustlers with the MOC, ok for night shift snack. Also got reduced pasta sauce, chiabatta to make garlic bread, sugar for HM muffins and a couple of other bits. £7 spent in all, so not too bad will update total now.

I am happy to be a number too

Stopped into Dobbies on my way home from work. I had hoped to pick up a reduced desk top calendar but they have taken away the Christmas stock rather than reduce it further (what was the point in that as it's no use for this Christmas). Anyway whilst there they had half price bread, cakes and festive foodie gifts. Managed to get a french stick, 4 empire biscuts, 2 frosted cup cakes, dolly mixture and an olive loaf. All for £4.64. Great timing as I have a few friends coming round tonight and some nibbles would go down a treat.

Hello all

I spent £4.32 today, bringing my Feb total so far to £14.22. I shouldn't need to buy anything else until the weekend, so am hoping for a couple of NSDs.

I am very happy to be a number if it makes it easier. I shall cherish my little number :j
