April 2014 Grocery Challenge

Still no spends, the ingredients for last night's tea were bought by the Ds'sDD! Fab! I stopped myself from venturing on to the bookies deposit bonus thread, and instead of looking for offers, I uncovered an old bookmakers account that still had £8 in it, so have used that to place today's grand national bets, not money saving, more, money utilizing!
Today, however, there will be spendage!

Will crack on with that menu plan for the week ahead. Some of the concoctions I have had this week instead of throwing out have been VERY beneficial to my weight loss! LOL mixing up leftovers and currying them off has really helped.
I need to do some flyladying today! :A

Danger times for spending money today are:

Forgetting shopping list -- add it to my phone.
Unforeseen "bargains" -- take cash, leave cards behind.

With the spends i have had so far this month and going shopping today, my total is £69.96. I may only need top ups on fruit, bread and milk. Will see how it goes. As i am on holiday from work now i will only venture out if i really have to.
Baked liver and onions with potatoes and veg for tea.

I went to the 'Cake and Bake' show yesterday, and came back with bags of freebies and goodies I paid for. I carried 2kg of fondant icing, 3 bags of shopping and 6 bottles of wine.. no wonder my back is aching today!

Spends of £14 to be included with my groceries. Now I need to go through my baking cupboard to reorganise and fit my goodies in!

I've completely lost track of how many NSDs I've had but I think I've only spent on 2 days this week so probably about 8 NSDs since I last posted but think I'm just going to leave my sig as it is at the moment on that count.

Don't think I need to do any shopping this weekend so grocery budget looks to be OK for this month.

Good morning
I lost track completely in March but do know I was way over budget!
Am going to aim for £375in April as I'm a bit late joining this month.
I'm off shopping this afternoon, so will update my sig later
