April 2014 Grocery Challenge

Ches

Unexpected visit to Mr T today with my DD and found Bold washing liquid half price so bought 2. Fabric conditioner reduced to £2 and hand wash 2 for 1 so £9.80 spent on store cupboard stuff but would have needed all these next month anyway.

Made GCJ's Soda Bread for first time - yummy. Recipe says - semi skimmed milk but we have skimmed so used that.
We had the soda bread with a waitflower meal.

Small planned spend of £5 today in ffoods. Needed a shove in the oven double serving dinner, so got three pizzas for £5, had one before DD's play, and two after, with leftovers for my lunch and dinner tomorrow. I usually make my own, but just had no time today, esp as I find hm take longer to cook, even if I had made the dough yest/this morning.

I'll be too tired tom eve to do any shopping, so nsd planned. Will shop at mr t for the offers I want on sat or sun, work dependent.

Just sitting down to do a couple of hours' work now, then up at six for a slightly shorter day (only planning on doing 11 hrs tom!).

Total of weeks spend is £76, not as high as I thought and managed to feed everyone with a rubbish shop. Have bought shampoo, conditioner, shower gels etc to last the month too.

Planning my meals tomorrow and will not let myself down with poor shopping again next week

I am so proud of myself. Did dinner last night and had the leftovers from a cabbage. We never eat the middle! I was about to throw it away and then wondered if I could make some soup with it. I have loads of onions and pots as I usually buy them by the sack now.found a recipe on line- carrots (had some left over from last week that I would have thrown, but put them in the freezer!), pots, onion, cabbage and I threw some peas in with some chicken stock. Put it in the slow cooker before I went to bed. Woke up this morning to a lovely smell in the house, whiz zed them up and made 6 lunches from them. Perfect for work! Cost- practically free as all would probably have been thrown away!
