February 2014 Grocery Challenge

HOWMUCH

Keeping all my receipts in a bulldog clip, petrol,clothes and food. This year I want to know exactly what I spend. Hopefully getting ready for semi-retirement next year if I can manage it.
So at the end of the month I will have a starting block figure for food.

£5.85 today on £1 walkers at the petrol station (6 bags) and then a whopping £4.85 at soft play on coffee, juice and a caramel shortbread. *Hangs head in shame*. At least entry was free, so that's something I guess!!

Got some more Pure Soya, Lots of Milk, Eggs, needed-Swede, plus householdy stuff .. succumbed to some more 20p KitKat Chunkies for the boys, plus a couple of Lindor Bars (2 for £1.20 at mo) for Valentine's Day ..

Yay - went out and spent nothing on groceries! Even though I went in to M's!


Got bf a little something for tomorrow - last year he got me a lovely present but as I'd only been working about a week and a half I couldn't get anything for him. This year I've told him not to get me anything as we will go to Asda and get bits in for me to cook a lovely meal for him (treat budget) and stuff for us to bake treats together on Saturday (new cooker yay!) hehe but I couldn't resist a little something; I got him a card from me, a card from bump (who knew they did 'daddy' valentines?!), a little chocolate novelty from Thorntons' and a couple of pairs of socks - now that sounds a let down but he's a GB athlete and one is GB flags and the other is the Superman emblem anyhoo enough of that!

have been sorting my online order for sunday and noticed i hadnt been rewarded with my £10.00 evoucher as promised due to problem with my beef last time.
i contacted yesterday and heard nothing back.
I just phoned and got a lovely lady. she gave me £10.50 voucher and a £12.00 voucher for the inconvenience....so thats £22.50 off my Sunday shop

each week i have been buying extra bits and bobs that I need for my kitchen this week i already added a £12 chopping board and got it into my budget, so as a result of these vouchers I have also ordered a knife block set to match the board at £25.00 so basically free happy girl today.

(thats if they have it in stock for delivery....we all know what online delivery is like :rotfl:) if not then more money off my shop

Still trying to get together my supermarket vs. costco list. It's hard work copying out all theprices - they need to enable wifi in costco so I can just check online whilst I'm browsing

OH and I both have data within out mobile packages, so we hook up and check while we walk around

But sometimes it means strolling to the end of an aisle so that the metal shelving doesn't block the signal.

I pottered down to Mr M's and A1di a few hours ago - but only to check some prices before I go for a lengthy walk around all the local supermarkets tomorrow morning (can't get on-line prices for those two, so needed to manually check to compare to Mr T, Mr A and Mr S)

But I bought nothing today as nothing had gone out of my bank, so that's NSD #7 in the bag
