Hey guys, I'm back in this month, was MIA last month due to splitting up with my partner and all the chaos that ensued. Things have settled down now, so back to the challenge

Just back from the market, spent £9.71, stocked up on onions, tomatoes, frozen veg and veggie sausages (from ice land), they sell the Linda Mac for £1 per packet, cheaper than sainsbugs own brand, which is £3 for 2.

Overall very satisfied.

I'd like to join, please! Setting myself a target of £60 for the month, as it's only me and I haven't much to last until October. There's plenty in the cupboards at the minute so that should hopefully last the rest of the week, but we'll see!

Afternoon

Had to go to nearby town which have a few meat/chicken processing plants.

Took a couple of hours to do this shop but it was worth it.
3 Organic chickens priced at £8 and over each.............£2 each
2 packs of chicken fillets 2/3 in each............................£1 "
2 packs of Wrose Chicken fillets...................................£1 "
2 x 1kg BBq sweet chilli chicken thighs........................£1 "
2 x Chicken with couscous...........................................£1 "
3 x Chicken Keiv pack of 2...............................3 for a £1

£15 in total

meat plant

6 ribeye steaks
1 kg Pork Fillet
5 large pork loin chops bone in
3 x 750g beef mince
5 packs of beef stir fry...priced at £4 each in shop ... £1 each
2 x5 packs of individually bagged barbeque steaks

£25 .30

This should keep us in meat well into the month. All now split and bagged. Have kept the rib eye steak in fridge for weekend and the chicken Kiev is for tonight with a few chips. So the planned meal of roast chicken can do tomorrow.

Big outgoing but incredible savings. Chicken alone would have cost over £60 and the meat I am sure near enough the same. So well worth the time.

Spent £43.86 in aldi and £11.39 in morrisons. A little more than i had hoped for but I bought things that last liner than a week such as toothpaste, kitchen roll, vitamins, rice, salad cream, tea bags etc. so a grand total of £55.25 for me today.

Hi everyone,

As planned I've had a couple of days without touching the grocery budget. However, slight manipulation of the figures has occurred I must confess!

Today was a complete NSD but yesterday I bought a few bits diet coke, ice cream, chocolate and YS birthday cake but I used some cash I was given that I wasn't expecting this month. I decided to do riverside if grocery budget as didn't want to go over £30 with that this week.

I'm still keeping all receipts so I can see where money goes every month!
