June 2012 Grocery Challenge

sonastin

Ended up coming back from our weekend away early yesterday - too tired to keep up with the youngsters partying! - and called at Mr T on the way home. Didn't have anything available for dinner because we were supposed to be eating out. £19.22 spent on various bits-and-bobs, including a whole tray of soya milk for OH but its less than I would have spent on the meal out! And the soya milk should do OH all month now so I've got a better chance of planning the rest of the months shopping at Ald! and L!dl.

Just a very quick pop in to say hey. I've had a manic week (including my first ever concert - to see Coldplay!!!)

Sorry to hear loads of you feeling unwell/ohs feeling unwell - hope you all feel better soon.

And, thank you to Mrs Cookie, for sending the pm about wild garlic seeds! Did my weekly shop for £7.80 yest, and another £1.47 today, so really chuffed with that!

Hope to catch up better soon.

:eek:I need to get some action in the kitchen today as Ive not had chance last couple of days as DH admitted to hospital with a clot on the lungs. Kept in for a few days so all planning out of the window!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
must make "proper food" as Ive bought it. we did get roast chicken yesterday and homemade bread at least! Just been catching up with some of the things DH does like emptying the bins. So Ive just washed tthem out. Lots of receipts to put into my diary. Has a splurge on clothes yesterda-trawled the charity shops and got about £150 worth for about £28 including 2 brand new items. I rarely get this lucky so as I found it-I bought it!:rotfl:

Sending love and wishing your DH well xx

angelatgraceland - Sorry to hear about your DH, sending love and best wishes.

Have spent around the £95 mark, which isn't good as we are only a few days in, but have bought some bits to do some baking for a jubilee party we are having at work on Tuesday for the residents i look after. But have fairly full cupboards and freezer so shouldn't be too much of a disaster.

Went out for lunch today paid for by the MIL, and i am so full won't be needing any tea this evening. Am definitely going to start meal planning, i have said before i am going to do it but never get around to it.

Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday weekend all.

Spent £11.33 In Mr A for food to take away for a weekend and gave my freind £10 contribution to the cost of stuff she had bought for us all. So 21.33 to add to my total.

I made it to the end of the thread! It has taken a while (I had ds birthday and nasty sickness bug). I am going to aim for £330 for June. I just have to stop OH buying bargains for the freezer. It is lovely that he is on board but there is NO ROOM!

I have spent about £20 so far. Plan for the month - do a new list of all the food I have already and use it up!

I hope everyone is having A great weekend xx

Hi
Do we include all our spends, even if not groceries? Eg this morning I bought biscuits and crisps and loo roll but also some plates, medicine and craft paper in the same shop? What about cashback?

If its all then I have spent £84 but if its just groceries / cleaning / laundry stuff then £12. Got £50 in cash which should last as I have no parking costs this week, and no social life, lol
