Decided to try out some shopping list apps on my apple and pie phone. One looks really good and the other one isn't quite so good but looks like it adds up the total which I like. Both apps are free of course, I am so easily pleased!!

thank youJust to warn all of you breadmakers out there...A fews days ago I went to asda to buy strong white flour as it was only 60p a bag. Unfortunately the shelves were bare.
Today I went to try again and it has gone up to 80p per bag :shocked::shocked::shocked:!!!! So the bad harvests are beginning to hit. Obviously I didn't buy it, I nipped to Tesco and bought it there as it's still 66p a bag, but I'm sure all the supermarkets will soon follow.
Thought this may help someone.
thank you for that i need to stock up soonGc 2013 +26 -5. -4 -7 -14 -15 -10.-8.20 +15p+30+5.80 Dec +9 GROCERY challenge 2014 Jan -2Feb -3 March -1.50 April +5.40 May +4.90 June -3.July 16.50/85

most things can be frozen but with cheese it changes texture so when i defrost the blocks its like crumbly it will not grate easilyand just falls apart so its good for cookingGc 2013 +26 -5. -4 -7 -14 -15 -10.-8.20 +15p+30+5.80 Dec +9 GROCERY challenge 2014 Jan -2Feb -3 March -1.50 April +5.40 May +4.90 June -3.July 16.50/85

Need to add £1.99 to my spends for the month, had to chuck 4 pints of milk this morning that was squiffy :mad: and needed some butter for baking.
My cupboards and freezer are full to bursting though so I might not be buying very much at all next week (hopefully!)0 -
Am very jealous about the cheap bread flour. Ald1 and L1dl here don't stock it at all and the other supermarkets all stock the one brand. It's great quality but it's about €2.70 a bag. It's actually cheaper to get organic bread flour from the local HFS.
In less moany news I've just realised that since Jan 1st I've only had 3 GC spends. Has to be some kind of record for me. Tomorrow will be another NSD. Friday I'll probably have to cave in and buy more milk. Am delighted to have something going my way financially this month as have my MOT next week to see if the list of repairs is more than the car is worth
