March 2013 Grocery Challenge

Spends this week - £10.99 on cat food (got to put kitty on a diet!!) and £12.74 supermarket shop for a few dinners this week. I'll need to spend a few quid on lunch today as I'm out in a different office and don't have anything to take with me, but overall I should be well in budget! Currently checking in at £182.94 and payday is tomorrow (I always go payday to payday)

£33 spent in mr T yesterday.

DD1 is going on a caravan holiday with my mum and my sisters on Saturday for a week. We are in London and they are going to Cornwall, it will be the longest she's been away from me and she's 7!!!
So I've bought breakfast cereal, crisps, biscuits and juice cartons for them to take to help keep costs down.
I still have dd2 at home so my costs won't be reduced much by not having her here.

Ill have a slight grumble here too....

I bought a nice half leg of lamb on reduction in tesco and was looking forward to having it on Sunday. Well DP has said we will go to the inlaws instead, and they are doing beef. I don't eat beef so it will be a fun day for me!

Taco's for dinner tonight. DD1's last dinner with us (she's with her dad thurs-fri)

Only £20 over budget this month which is a lot better than the £100+ of previous two months! May have to do a small shop on Thursday so will report back at end of month x

NSD today. Few more days to go until the end of the week. We shouldn't need anything but you never know. I'll have to try and be extra careful to the end of the month.

Shepherd's pie for tea tonight and not really feeling well so I might make extra for tomorrow night. Have a good day everyone.

Went into Mr T to swap a bulb (got screw in instead of bayonette) - picked up bananas, burger buns and some YS Nakd bars. Fiver to my total, and done for the month!

Sorry you are not feeing well, just wanted to say its always a good idea to make extra if you can always comes in handy, can freeze for next month or two.

£3.60 spend locally today. 60p on a Frij in local shop for DD, and then 50p YS bag of lettuce, which will see me through until next big shop as i'm at the end of my iceberg. £1 for YS blueberries and a £1 for YS strawberries in C*-*p. Trying to stay on the straight and narrow with SW, as i've gone off the rails a bit lately, so had a massive bowl of those for pudding, with chopped pear, grapes and a yoghurt. Hopefully that will rectify the damage.
