January 2013 Grocery Challenge

positivelypurple

Checking in with a £123 spend this week. This takes us to £331, leaving a scrawny £39 left to the end of the month. In a normal month, I think we'd be fine with that but it's such a long month :eek:

We'll have to do some creative meals with what's in the cupboards over the next 10 days.

Hope everyone is well!

the weather is awful here, i made a big pot of rice pudding from full cream milk in the slow cooker. It was probably the best one i have tasted.

Haven't updated for a while and I think it will be a miracle if I stay within budget this month OH can't eat anything tasty after his op at the moment so i've got a freezer full of things he can't eat!! Chicken, Mash and Veg all week again I think??!! My spends were Mr T, only offers though 13.35, F.Foods 26.35, Ald's 22.04 Mr S's 28.02(had a voucher from them for 15 quid as I complained so much about their awful service) and butchers 4.12

Pleased to report a second NSD in a row:)

Definitely need milk tomorrow though - for the past few weeks milk seems to be going off quite quickly and we've used 3/3.5pints and had to throw the ends of the 4pint bottles we buy but this week we got through the lot - yay!
