December 2012 Grocery Challenge!!!!! REALLLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

meg72

Went to Opticians yesterday and got bad news cataracts and need an op,
So thought I would pop into Asda to get a bottle of wine to cheer myself up, as you do, don`t ya?

Loads of reduced meat and veg so spent 25.00 but got over 60.00 worth.
Was really pleased to get pork fillet, not had this for years, reduced to 2.25 from 6.00, pork chops, loin of pork, chicken, small piece of beef 1kg mince. the veg was all 20p a kg, got parsnips, carrots and sprouts.
Also got satsumas, pears and bananas.

All in enough meat and veg for the next couple of months.

It wasnt until I was home struggling to fit everything into freezer I realised I had not bought my bottle of wine, so raided a Christmas present. Now have to go and replace it.

Vicky V, when do the Aldi vouchers appear in the Daily Mirror? Is it regular?

They are normally in Thursday's Mirror but not every week. There are other threads on here that warn people but I always google to check if I'm planning an Aldi trip as I'm never sure which threads...

They were in the paper yesterday. its usually the last thursday of the month. i dont know if this is a bonus voucher as its christmas or its earlier this month because of christmas, but if you subscribe to aldi's facebook page they usually give a heads up the day before the vouchers are published.

Hey Lottie,

They have been in for a couple of Thursdays, I only noticed that there was one yesterday at about lunch time, thought it was a one off last time! . I think there may be one in next week too so check the offers page on MSE on Wed just to check!

I have spent another £71.62. It does include some bits for Christmas. I got a nice piece of pork and beef which i cut in half, so four joints there and a leg of lamb.
I will probably go shopping again next week to stock up, hopefully for the last time this year.
Good luck to everyone else.

Done the weekly shop at Sainsbobs today and spent £33.72, however I had a £3 off a £30 spend and £7.50 of nectar points to use so it ended up as £23.22 :j That included a bottle of gin for christmas too

I also got another voucher from the till for £4.50 off a £30 spend so shall be doing next week's shopping there too instead of at Mr T.

A large £55.28 to add from me! :eek: Was a bit of a stock up shop as I'm hoping to only need to nip in to the shops for milk, bread and fruit next week as I know it will be rammed right before xmas. We struggled to park today and its a friday, dread to think what the next two weekends will be like!!

Milk and YS passionfruit today, 49p and 24p respectively.

I also had some vouchers from waitr0se in the post- I've only had my card a few weeks and have barely spent anything in there so I was pleasantly surprised to find a £5 voucher! Not even when-you-spend-x-amount. Just a £5 voucher :T
Now I just have to decide what to use it on! I like their 'ultra balm' tissues- they are a must when I have a cold because I tend to suffer from dry/red nose for at least two weeks after I've been ill if I use ordinary tissues. I also find they are as good as & cheaper than Kleenex Balsam. And I may buy some of their rye flour. I have a lot already but I know I will use it for my breads and it is actually cheaper in waitr0se than other supermarkets, shocker!

I'm a bit gutted tonight as have just had to wipe out my savings paying for some courses for work .

On the plus side no grocery spends this week as have no kitchen so eating ready prepared meals out of the freezer all week!

€22.18 to add to my total. Marks meal deal, mince pies, bin bags and two squirty bottles of de-icer for the car. So broke this month.....
