April 2014 Grocery Challenge

£29.62 spent at Morries. More than I was expecting, but I did end up with 4 packs of sausages (2 regular beef for DH and 2 packs of their lower fat ones for me), 5 packs of back bacon (reduced - was planning on buying 3 anyway), and two packs of cooking bacon (reduced - I was planning on buying 2 anyway), 1 pack of reduced fat cheddar (99p!), and a block of Welsh cheddar in addition to what I had planned on getting. That's enough bacon for 1-1 1/2 months and enough cheese for 1 1/2-2 weeks.
Figured that I can pick up an extra bag of frozen chicken breasts from Aldi next time I go and wrap them in bacon, grill it, then pack it up for quick lunches.0 -
Can I be added for £80 please. Really looking forward to this challenge. I have no idea how much I usually spend on the food shopping through the week but hopefully this will be a good starting point

Slightly over budget in March. Please put me down for £200 again in April.
Online food shop coming tomorrow morning so will update when that arrives.
Need to get easter eggs over the next few weeks too!0 -

Hi guys. :T
My shopping is getting a tad erratic and I have completely lost the plot in keeping account of spends and am thinking of starting keeping count again.
I think £40 a week is an achievable goal hopefully for someone very rusty
Hope you have all been well :A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A
