July 2013 Grocery Challenge

Annie_99

Hiya,
Ive just spent a lovely few hours trawling through posts and making notes when ive seen something i fancy. I LOVE this thread and like how we are all trying hard to save.
We became debt free after 2 years of hard work and we mananged to clear £17,000 off and we now are working hard to stay in the black forever.
I still find days hard when i cant be bothered but know its worth it. Also its lovely to go to Ikea with a 1000 and buy new bedroom furniture cash rather than go into debt..:j

All in all im enjoying life a lot more now i know where my money is going!!
Keep it up guys x

Well, it has been one of those weekends where it just didn't go to plan.
Had a big row with the OH on Friday evening, dinner didn't go to plan, and we ended up with chinese takeaway. £16.80 gone
Saturday had to get Milk, and fabric softener, ended up getting some crusty rolls for lunch as well - £4.80
Then went out yesterday, took picnic, but ended up buying a couple of extra bits totalling £8.70
Then Milk, Nappies, Lettuce, Tomatoes and Baby Wipes Today - £9.70
Will update sig now. Got to do a proper shop tomorrow, as all of these little bits are adding up.
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Welcome love,No it dosn`t always go plan,but we must make

Weekend of NSD , then looking for lollie ices for me and dd1 after a mammoth walk, came across two packs of four Kingsmill muffins for 13p each. Then £1.25 on a pack of crunchie ice cream as we were exhausted.

So £1.51 total today.

Big shop coming tomorrow from Mr T and Ocad* as there is something from there i want from DD's birthday ( just hope it doesn't turn out to be OOS

Spent £4.89 this morning.
Tonight we had Chinese chicken thighs with fruity rice salad which we both really enjoyed. There is some rice salad left so will probably have that tomorrow for lunch with something. Froze the last of the ham we cooked at the weekend which will do us both twice at some point.

Thanks for the inspiration

Spent £12 tonight on loads of whoopsies meat n veg. :j

I have a big piri piri while chicken cook in the bag in the oven now which was only £1.20. :T

That will do us 3 main meals.

Super chuffed.

Mum is on a liquid diet due to oesophageal cancer so the fresh veg will be put to extremely good use.

Thrilled to get so much for so little.

NSD here.
Had my DGS here after School. He helped me to use the pastry I made yesterday. We made 2 Egg/Cheese Quiches and a Jam Tart. The leftover pastry was used to make a jam turnover which DGS took home with him.
Dinner was Rice + peas + onion and some Quiche.
I used some Single Cream from the freezer - was fine in the Quiche instead of milk. The cream was not suitable for use as is.

Never thought about putting grapes and orange with rice. Thanks Billie-Jo xx
