May 2013 Grocery Challenge

Cheapskate

Hello everyone

Have gone over again, not much to buy this week, so may as well declare another epic fail at £495, bet it will top £500 by Friday! Off to join the June board and keep trying!

Decided instead of treats for myself such as biscuits going to make batch of pancakes and freeze them. Seen T*sco everyday value choc spread for 88p so thats me sorted for the month. slightly healthier, less salt and money saved. cutting down on sugar is so tough!!!

Happy Wet Tuesday everyone!
£2.60 on potatos from the local farmshop. Delcaring £168.37/£200 for May - can't take all the credit ... I am so thankful for money off vouchers!!
I did tweak my budget down from £250 to £200, as we won't need anything now until the weekend and for me thats officially my June budget, so see you all over on the june board x

K9 - Beef and oyster sauce looks lovely.

NSD here again as was yesterday.
Productive day so far - have cleaned out the fridge and now have a large pot of soup in progress containing 2 parsnips, onion, carrot, potato, small amount of cauli and few green beans. Have added some spices and am hoping for a soup that is similar to spicy parsnip soup but time will tell. Also have a loaf in the bm.

Don't usually wish my life away but on a grocery point of view roll on the 1st June so as can start with a clean slate.

Small spends in MrS today on cheese (2.20/350g lake district mature), basic veg (carrots/onions/ 69p cauli/2.5kg pots £2) and cat food. Toast bread out of the freezer but I should make some bread for stay at home boys/OH lunches tomorrow and maybe some chocolate chip rock buns as the snack jar is empty. Roll on end of the month.

€687.19/€750!!!! It's looking good but my month ends on Thursday 30th May so I won't declare yet. I have to go to A*ldi after work so that will take a few quid but fingers crossed I'll be under budget - if the family co-operate AND STOP RAIDING THE FRIDGE AND CUPBOARDS! AAAARRRGH!
