June 2012 Grocery Challenge

cleggie: I've been meaning to do those Jamie's meatballs for yonks because I have some slightly soft cream crackers which need utilizing - glad to know that they are nice when I FINALLY get around to making it!

Small spend of £2.72 in Mr S yesterday on some lunch items and tortilla wraps.

Need to go to Mr T to get some chicken to make Chicken Enchiladas using a jar o sauce from the cupboard which was reduced to clear in Mr S orginally.

Also need to get some water filters. When I originally bought a water filter jug I bought it from Mr T because it was cheaper and because the filters are better value than Brita. So now I have to go and shop in Mr T whether I like it or not

made a BUTTER CHICKEN for tea ita absolutely delish i made a mild version but you could spice it up as you wish , will defo make it again , i used chicken but you could use anything

got a fair amount of rice left over ,DD1 says she would like egg fried rice tomorrow so need to find a recipe . ive got a jar of sweet and sour sauce and a pack of prawn crackers in the cupboard somewhere, so could use that too

Nickjw have you tried home bargains they do generic water filters around £2 , they fit my brit@ filter so not sure if they would be any good

Will catch up on the thread later as I've got a bit behind this week, however I'm increasing my budget this month as I'm rapidly running low on funds and if I don't have some kind of limit in place then I'll just go completely mad! So my new budget this month is £100 - HelenJelly can you please amend my pledge? Sorry to be a pain!

Total so far: £62.43 / £100

Hope everyone is good, I'll update properly later!

I got some pizza's from Mr T's today, I went through the self service and did them seperately, the poor assistant had to keep coming over to me to verify the coupons, when I got home I realised I had left one behind, it's a good job it only cost me 40p.

My Mum has given me some brown bread flour that was out of date last month, do you think it will be OK to use.

I would just check that it hasn't got any flour weevils, but otherwise, yes I would use it. What do other people think?
