March 2014 Grocery Challenge

Mrs_T_M

Will hopefully only need milk until after the 25th of this month.

Have cooked cottage pie, chicken pot pie, Santa Fe style black beans and rice, and applesauce banana muffins so far today, and I have salsa chicken in one slow cooker and a chicken carcass for broth (chicken and dumplings!) in another slow cooker. Just will need to make tortillas for the salsa chicken when DH wants those.

Still have pasta sauce with meat in the fridge as well!

I'm still out of flipping carrots, but I can make do without them for a while yet hopefully.

I can't keep up this month.
Our finances are to pot, I've just been diagnosed with PND and I'm just not coping well at all.
Good luck to everyone else this month but I think I need to take a break. Constantly worrying about money isn't helping and my mum said she's help so she's doing a big 'easy but healthy' food shop for us today to tide us over.

*hugs* Hope to see you back soon, but take all the time you need for yourself! I'd rather you be healthy and spend a bit more money than be stressed over things.

:grouphug: Ladyluck, look after yourself it is far more important than anything else x

Bluegreen you look amazing, I wish you many years of hapiness and health together :A

My health hasn't been great this week so I haven't posted much. I have 1 spend to add on at some point today but it wasn't much, just a few bits the kids grabbed at the local shop.

Lady Luck take care of yourself. Your health definitely has to take priority!

I have a small spend yesterday of milk and lettuce so £3.05 to be added to signature. Think I will be spending again today as DD has appointment which is straight after school and doesn't leave us long before after school activities so might need to grab a K -F - C or McD's x

My grocery spend is slowly creeping up but my food stocks are not shrinking so fast, which is good. My spend for this month so far is less than half last month and I do not need to go out for several days. If I continue this way I might have actually spent less than half last month and this is longer month.

£69.52/£180 remaining following today's top up shop in Sainsburys. Pretty pleased with that as only one weekly shop left for the month now.
