February 2014 Grocery Challenge

lynnejk

Managed another NSD. We had cheese omelettes for tea with rosti potatoes (freezer) and fried tomatoes


Think I will be 'freezer diving' tomorrow to see if I can rustle up 3 more complete meals for the rest of February. There's enough left for one salad and a few other bits of veg left in fridge, and think will only need one more milk. Have 3 eggs left, yogs etc for packups and a loaf of bread in freezer


Hoping to have enough left in budget to add to bulk buy fund to get a butcher's order Saturday.


Well done all those coming in under :T Don't beat yourselves up if you didn't - just try to see where could have spent a little less for next time


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

Today *should* have been a NSD but I made the mistake of going shopping before eating the lunch I brought to work. Big mistake. Grrr.

Oh well. Still going pretty ok for Feb - just have to last til Friday and I have enough food in And I've been staying off the chocolate, go me!! We have a large box of very cheap chocolates on sale for charity right next to where I sit. Very. Dangerous.

Nearly there everyone!

Hi K9 and felines- I don't have a recipe but I used Redwood's beef pieces, added carrot and onions -gravy all into the slow cooker - it turned out fine had mashed potatoes with it- NSD for me today 9 so far

Last weekly shop of the month done - there's no reason to expect to need to spend in the next two days which should mean I can call month end with a huge £39.32 underspend.

But given I've broken my phone, electric toothbrush and a thermos flask in the last week it hardly counts.

Just a quick note that Morrisons has the 50 wash Persil bio and non bio soap powder (that's the 4.25kg box) for £4.99 from today. Helps me as soap powder would be needed later this month anyway. Might take another to stock pile

Sounds fab though i don't know anywhere that sells Redwoods products (except Morris*ns, and that's only sandwich meat and one choice). Thanks anyway.

I spent £5.60 today on matches, six YS Lurpak unsalted @ 45p each, two large YS free range eggs @ 49p, and four packs of six fresh yeast @19p.

Off to add to sig, before I forget as last time it wouldn't let me post
