    Hi

    Thought I'd do my final total while I've a minute (I am cheating slightly because I've just come back from Morrisons because I had access to the car today and I've done a big shop cos OH was paid this morning which I'm going to put in my March shopping budget.)

    My total was £169.85 (£30.15 under budget):j :j

    Thats 2 months under budget.:j :j

    I have several cans of tinned meat (stewed steak) and i'm not mad about it on its own...anyone any ideas of what i can do with it to slightly disguise the flavour?
    I'm not sure if turning it into a stew with swede etc would work:confused:

    I`ve finally managed to get the recipe off the poorly pc.
    It`s an adaptation of an old slimming world recipe and if the lamb is used it`s free on a red day, don`t think the gravy will make much difference though.

    Curry
    1lb - 454g Lamb steak I use 2 tins of stewing steak + the gravy
    1 Onion
    3 Garlic cloves
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp Ground coriander
    1tsp Ground ginger
    1 tsp Chilli powder
    1 tim chopped tomatoes
    1 Bay leaf
    1 tsp cinnamon
    4 cardomon pods
    4 Cloves
    Half a pint of stock
    Sweetner or sugar to taste - i use 1 level dessert spoon

    Fry the onion and garlic then throw everything else in the pan, bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour, i usually bulk it out with red lentils and diced potatoes but cook it for longer then until everything is soft. It also cooks well just throwing everything in the slow cooker.

    Sorry it took so long to get the recipe.

    Well done everyone, we still have many spaces after targets for this month, if you just don't want to be part of it you don't need to post them but please post them if you wish to be included. I will wait until the end of March before I delete those I have added which haven't been back, save it looking so untidy when we are looking back to see how well we've all done.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    Hello moneysavers,

    Our total for the month came in at 303.31, so only just over, and that includes the wholefood order.

    This months target will be £300 again, but it will be a short month because I run Friday to Friday to make it easier with the cash drawn out weekly.
