June 2013 Grocery Challenge

Ciaerda

Hi everyone, very windy today and where is the sun. Have updated my signature just been to Mr T and spend £53.94 (this also included Fathers Day pressies) this should do us until middle of next week fingers crossed, so I am pleased I think I should hit my target.:j

This forum is really helping I have to say, when I go shopping I am just getting what I need and letting you guys know aswell is the added incentive to make sure I do it, so thanks guys, it is hard but if I hadn't done the challenge based on my past spending I would have spend an extra £100:eek: and I wouldn't know on what.

another £39 spend today and £7 odd yesterday - not doing great by the looks of it but if I had done an online shop I would've spent around £100 - so still a saving

Not sure what you are saying here, I am reading this that you have spent 39 plus 7 = 46.00 and if you had done an online shop you would have spent 100.00, whats not looking great, looks brilliant to me

Just a quick post, I got a load of the 10p sauces for my DIL and some pork lion steaks to do Becs marinade the joints didnt look as good. so saved myself the bother of cutting them up, 4.00 a kg.

But wanted to say have posted on the food shopping and grocery board, 69p kg sugar, 95p Nescafe and boxes of single sachets sauces in the 99p store. Cheapest I have seen for a while.

Mr F popped to As.. for some milk - ended up spending £2.95. :eek:
He did get a pack of 3 peppers reduced to 55p so I didn't tell him off - too much. :rotfl:

Did a small top up shop today at Ald* and M's. Got oranges, bananas and kiwi on Super6, cheese, yogurts, carrots, frozen peas, frozen peppers, squash, fizzy water, stuffing and a salad bag.

Total spend was £10.05 so we are still on track as I am hoping to do one more top up shop before pay day. If we manage to come in under budget I am going to put the extra into a treats budget for the summer holidays:)

Meal plan for my 41p week! All from stocks.

HM pizza with caramelised onion
Halloumi kebabs with rice or cous cous
Beetroot salad with chickpeas and some sort of carbohydrate
Lentil ragu and spaghetti
Potato salad with egg
Jamie Oliver Happy Cow Burgers - leaving out what I don't have
Roast cauliflower dish

Fruit in bowl, bread in freezer.

I think I will only need to get milk. Makes me wonder what I would spend money on if I shopped as normal...

Due to 4 weekly pays we are now beginning June in the middle of the month. Please put me down for a budget of £250. This is for 2 adults, an almost 2 year old, 2 cats and 3 dogs. Includes food, pet food, nappies, toiletries, cleaning but not food out or when my OH is at work.
