July 2014 Grocery Challenge

JIL

Thursdays papers. Daily mirror has a £5 off a £45 spend at aldi. The daily star has a £5 off a spend at lidl. Sorry don't know how much I only saw the front pages on the BBC news ap. And daily express has £5 off a £40 spend at lidl.

Just £17 to play with for the rest of the month now as I treated my fella to the pub. He needed a good cheering up. Some of that has to be decent wine for a meal at a friend's on Saturday. Aldi, methinks!

Should be fine as the fridge and cupboards are still full, and had a haul of fruit and veg from my brother's allotment this weekend. Does anyone know any good recipes for gooseberries?

According to HUKD the Sun is also doing a voucher for £5 off £10 spend on meat, fish or fresh Quorn products as well( I think it said) from Morrisons, on 31st (next Thursday). I was off out to see if I could actually get a paper this time, when I reread it's NEXT week !!!

It did originally say this week. I went out for a paper, and was confused when front page said it has a WHS offer. Came home and checked the post to see it's been amended to state it's next week. Gives me a bit more time to make space in my freezers

Hello all, hope your all coping with the extreme heat/cold(NZ).


Been awol all week, but catching up on posts when possible.


Thank you JIL for all the newspaper voucher details, i'm off out!


Took DD and DS to cinema on Tuesday so beforehand went to Mr T and bought snacks - huge bag of popcorn (will last for snacks all week too), 12*bottles fruit slurps, 2*bags value toffee's £4.89. Also bought 4* boxes of washing powder (reduced from £11 to £6 for 4.75kg will last ALL YEAR!!) a hairbrush as DD broke mine £7.20 and mini wraps £0.88. Today I have had my veg box delivered so another £14.45-totalling £51.42. Will update sig now.


Really need to work on using my stores before moving so off now to do a very detailed menu plan. Fingers crossed.

I know. Thank God for the internet or we wouldn't have had a clue. I doubt i'll be in luck to get the paper, as they were all gone last time.

I've had quite a few spends today between L*dl and M*rrisons, but will have to update tomorrow; though it's circa about £18.

Total to add to sig is £19.57, and i have to nip out for fresh milk (as DD2 won't drink long life, which i bought in for emergencies); so i will add an extra £1.00 now. If i see any YS items then i will come back and amend.

£44.30 spent today in aldi (used the £5 voucher)
Stocked up on quite a bit. Got another voucher to use next week. Will also try and get the morrisons voucher for the meat next week.
I had two pitta breads in the bread bin that needed using up. So spread some tom pur!e on and added ham, toms and cheese to make mini pizzas for the kids. They had them with salad. Very thrify!
Started my 'diet' 10 days ago and there is far less rubbish in the house. OH is being very supportive! Lost 1lb at my last weigh in. Just another 11 to go before being back to my lowest weight!

Had a small spend today in tesc0 on reduced parmesan, reduced cereal bars for DD and some 81p cooking bacon - which disappeared for a little while but is back now, at least in the one near work! Also bought 2 copies of the mirror for the a1di vouchers!

Tues & Weds were NSDs (for GC purposes) so just scraped in the 15 that I wanted! :j

£275.75/300.00 spent and as my new month starts tomorrow I'm declaring at that! Decided to put any leftover GC money in a sealed pot to forget about until a rainy day.

Lynnejk, I love the idea of a bulk buy fund, do you put some in every month or is it leftovers? Had a bit of a go with the second purse idea a couple of years ago but couldn't get my head round it!

Off to August now but good luck to everyone! :beer:
