hi...added up feb spends and quite pleased with them but think march might be more expensive due to the fact we have run the stocks down...freezer hasnt got much in but in fairness there is a fair bit still in the cupboards

having a stirfry with noodles and rice for tea and then a quiche tomorrow...we are hopefully off to costco on sat to cure the empty freezer

see u in march

Haven't updated my spends since first week of February, so here goes...

Mr A £29.18, £46.39
A1di £14.83, £18.20
Butchers £12.58
Meat C&C £41.61
Dog food £7.20, £14.73, £12.00

Total = £196.72

Add to this the £63.14 from previous spends makes a total of £260.13 for February. Ooops, an overspend for my first month back in the GC Challenge However, the visit to the Meat Cash & Carry means there is a meat in the freezer to carry forward into March. Also, probably now have enough dry food to last the dog for most of next month (but will need some of the bone-shaped biscuits by mid-month).

So, I'm declaring a spend of £260.13 for February.

Morning all (well afternoon now)
i've had no more spends since monday YAY! and still have some change in my purse which is going in to the holiday pot in a mo.

So im declaring at £241.26

I've decided to start my march challenge a day early, because i dont like going shopping between friday and monday if i can help it, and i dont fancy spending my friday morning battling round te$co.

Its mostly non-perishables which wont be used til next week but some of the offers run out on monday, plus i think we'll probably need milk by friday.

Well Done to all taking part, and a HUGE THANK YOU to all those doing admin

see you in over in march

Hi everyone,

£5 spent today in !celand on frozen breaded fish fillets, bag of carrots and two packs of crackers. Will need to pay 2nd purse tomorrow for a couple of bits used this week, then I shall be declaring.

Joined !celands bonus card scheme - anyone ever won the monthly vouchers?

am just sitting wondering what i can do with 4 apples i left sitting in the bowl until past their best yet am determined i could do something with them lol! Any ideas?

I stew any old apples and freeze, come in handy for apple sauce or if enough a crumble.

Cheaper/tastier to buy fresh carrots - I take it the ones from Iceland were frozen. I don't faff about peeling carrots - just scrub before use.
