June 2014 Grocery Challenge

Florenceem

Spend of £1.25 today.
Made HM shortcrust pastry - enough for 2 quiches + some LO - FF.
We had HM Goats Cheese/Tomato Quiche + roast potatoes + roasted red/white onions + peppers + tomatoes + garlic for dinner. The dark colour of the quiche filling is the paprika I added.

Okay so day 1 for me as bought items today in Tesco. Spent £41 and so many pence (can't find the receipt but remember the pounds at least). I did stock up on the dogs denta sticks and jumbones to do 2 weeks though.

They had a lot of pastries reduced to 36p for the boxes of 2 so I bought 1 box of danish and 1 box of croissants to freeze with the plan to unfreeze one item each night to bring to work with me in the morning. I am a devil for buying a box of pastries on my way into work or at lunch several times a week! So fingers crossed this stops me

More milk picked up from A1di today. Signature updated with all spends from the weekend.

Now 26.7% of the way through the month and 37.83% of the way through my budget.

I'm heading back to Costc0 tomorrow - mainly to get some bits for DD (who I'll be seeing on Tuesday), but I'm also considering a couple of bits I talked myself into leaving on the shelf last week......

No receipts, but I'm adding on £10 for the Indian snacks OH purchased yesterday (he did come home with some lovely Turkish Pide bread for me too).

Also, we discovered we had not a grain of rice left - so I went out today to buy that and some grapes - another £14.48.

So we're at £117.99/£200 - its all going very rapidly downhill budget-wise this month.

NSD yesterday, still on track for the month.


Today will be getting the motorhome ready for a weekend in the mountains, luckily its got a very good heater, so we are really looking forward to it. Still I will make sure there are plenty of quilts and hot water bottles packed, can't be too careful!

Sorry for your loss love, funerals are hard to cope with.

All the best for tomorrow. Hope it all goes okay for you


I went to Morrys today and spent £15.78 on some YS stuff, more fruit and a little samphire to try as never eaten it before.


For lunch we had salmon with croquette potatoes (both from freezer) with steamed carrots, courgette, snap peas, samphire and hollandaise sauce - not impressed with samphire but rest was yummy :T Finished the part-baked rolls as ploughman's plates for tea.


Hope you all have a magnificent Monday

Venison casserole with honey glazed root veg for dinner last night was delicious, as was the apple shortcake for dessert.

Sounds delicious.
