June 2012 Grocery Challenge

Kitchenbunny

Welcome to the newbies! Hope you pick up lots of tips I did!

Well, another spendy day here. Only a little one this time and that should (bar milk) see us out the rest of the week - dare I hope for the rest of the challenge! We'll see on that one! I spent £5.49 on soup, eggs and some baking potatoes at Mr M. Tea tonight is a lovely farmhouse omelette, made with 4 eggs, bacon, cheese & mushrooms. And a slice of bread and butter. It's a bit warm for something heavier. Mind you, since eating lighter meals/smaller portions and waiting till I'm actually hungry I've lost 5lbs this month! Happy!!

Have a lovely evening, everyone. (((hugs))) to those in need and Fozzie and Cleggie - sending you positive vibes.

Think I may have my first fail ( well since doing the challenge) made beef stroganoff for tonight it looks disgusting.Not sure whether to serve it or not.

NSD for me today

Dipndo - have a taste of it and see what you think. If you have any in, give it a shake of paprika over the top for colour

Yes it does help thankyou, mother lives with us, so it is a matter of what ideas i can come up with, have tried a few new recipes from the front page here and my husband and i thought they were great but mother left hers:eek:
She spends all day eating cakes, chocolate and biscuits (which she buys for herself) then leaves her tea.:wall:

Hi Bikingbint- what does your MIL say she wants to eat? Do you give her the same size meals as you and your DH? Maybe she's 'put off' by the size of the meal? Hope it gets better for you

Well, starting as I mean to go on. Had a rummage through the chest freezer in the shed and found a block of frozen raspberries from the garden -last years I think....or possibly the year before! Anyway, have just made 4lbs of jam.

Well done :T

Welcome to all the newbies :wave:

I've done my weekly shop today - will update sig when I add it all up.

Possession

A treat meal of pizzas and icecream bought for tomorrow as its my birthday and I'd rather not cook. A spend of £20.85 (with a few other bits). I'm close to my target now with 7 days to go but that includes 6 weeks worth of wine so I don't feel too bad.

Thanks everyone for the mention of Donald Russell meat, looks great and I think I may need to put an order in!

No spend day today. Had chicken tomatoey casserole from the freezer for dinner - mine with spaghetti and OH had oven chips with his. Haven't told him yet that after this bag he isn't getting any more ready made chips :rotfl:

NSD here.
We had roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Chinese chicken, Chantenay carrots, onion and asparagus for dinner.
I need to buy rubber gloves, toilet rolls and small freezer bags - they will be out of next month's GC as Pension day.

Hi guys.

Spent £12 on cat and dog food today, but didnt get round to doing our proper shop as i didnt want to be out of the house for too long.
I am not really eating much since the break in, so i havent spent much at all on food and have actually lost a few lbs as a result.
Every cloud has a silver lining i guess!

Aww Cleggie I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope you start to feel better soon and your appetite returns.

We had DR burgers for tea, they were free with my last order - yum yum!
