dramarama

Morning everyone, Hopevyou all have a good day. I've spent £10 over the weekend on fruit, veg, milk etc. Going to be finishing the GC this Friday as I started a week early. Pretty sure we've got enough in for the week!!

Off to meal plan and have breakfast.

Been away for weekend so haven't spent any of the grocery budget so total is still the same.

We ate out on Saturday but other than that it has been NSDs so got 2 over the weekend which has got me to my total of 10 on the NSD challenge. I have now upped my target to 15 by the end of the month - probably a bit optimistic but that's the aim - the first of which will be today as I can't get out as DH has taken the car to work today because of the weather!

The weather here is absolutely foul, have been watching the rain bounce of the porch, no going out for me today, cosy time in kitchen I think.

I was like a drowned rat earlier but I didn't spend anything. I even avoided the tempting chocolate

Just done the big shop and have spent £61.49 in Mr S and £9.86 in Mr T. Will update my signature now. Spaghetti Bolognaise for dinner tonight. Roast chicken tomorrow and will make chicken soup on Thursday. DH & DS love homemade chicken soup and I'll just need to buy some nice fresh bread to go with it on the day. Catch up with you all later in the week.

I have had a very good week.

To bring down the grocery bill I made a huge effort to eat out of the cupboards and freezer and it has paid off.

Zero groceries bought this week :j

NSD today and tomorrow. My son is having an important operation tomorrow morning and we'll be in hospital probably until Wednesday. I'll see if i can take food with us but i have so much to do as we only found out about his operation a few hours ago (hospital had a cancellation so bumped him up)

Want2Bfrugal - Well done on the zero grocery spends. :T
Sequeena - hope that your son's operation goes well and he is soon home.

Nipped into A$da this morning and spent £9.13, nipping back tomorrow because I think they may have charged me to much for one item will have a look before I go to CS though. On the other hand I may have picked the wrong weight up.

Two tubs of stewed apple cooling down ready for freezer as loads of apples were brought down in the torrential rain we had yesterday. Some are fine for eating as they are but stewed the knocked and bruised ones.
