Good evening, Kitchenbunny reporting in for the February Grocery Challenge thread It was my last day today on the January thread, and as I managed an NSD it's time for me to move here. I'm now sitting down with a cup of tea and a notepad, working out what meals to have next week and writing my shopping list - first for the weekend bits and bobs and then for the main shop on Monday.

My annual total so far stands at £165.42 spent out of £1800 - that's £1634.58 remaining. If I can manage to spend under £150 for this month, I'll be very happy indeed.

It'll either be toad in the hole tonight, or sausages on giant Yorkshire Puds with gravy and veggies (instead of with beans). I'll let Mr KB decide when he gets in.

Bring on the GC!

O.K., My first week of Feb looks really bad!! (not even Feb yet) Spent £136.38 of my £350 declared (estimated) budget. Hopefully the next 3 weeks will be low spend. There was a lot of 'stock' items and frozen foods this week that should last the month...but all I can do is try my best.
