October 2014 Grocery Challenge

Gracie_1827

Shopped at Morrys and @ldi...these are next to my gym and spent £15.93. Then needed to go to post office in afternoon, so went into c0-0p...I had a £5 voucher for a £5 spend. Bought wholemeal loaf, fruit bread and 2 x 1 litre bottle lager all for 20p:beer:
Picked up some YS parsnips so making soup today.

Had to pop to Mr Ts last night with DH as he needed to pick up his prescription (we usually get at GP surgery 'cos we live in the middle of nowhere!).

Whilst waiting for it to be made up we had a wander around and picked up a few YS bits which came to £3.94, this included a couple of bags of ready chopped root veg @ 34p each so they have gone into the freezer. One bag I'll use to make a veg curry and the other I'll add to the slow cooker with some sort of meat, depending on what I can find in the freezer which needs slow cooking - I know I've got some oxtail and stewing steak in there somewhere! Also picked up a 4pt of milk as I can't get to the shop until tomorrow and know what we had left in the fridge wouldn't have lasted until then. So quite happy with that.

Have started my shopping list for tomorrow and again not looking too bad at the moment so hopefully a relatively small spend for my main shop this week.

Okay.... Can I join this month please!

I'm going for £100 as the freezer and fridge have quite a bit in them. And I am NOT going to buy sandwiches from Mr T next door to work!!!!

Spend so far £7.09 on bread, milk, tinned raviolo, butter and cotton buds.... Oh and a can of fly spray!

I've spent £2.45 today ....£1 on a bag of potatoes from The Co-op, 45p on spring greens (both reduced for sell-by date) and £1 on a dozen large free-range eggs which have a date of 9.10.14 -again reduced!

I know that I'm buying potatoes more expensively than I used to - but with just cooking for myself for four nights of the week, and three nights for No 1 son, I've found to my cost that its not worth paying £5 for a sack of potatoes and throwing most of them away :-(

Tonight I'm just cooking for me, so I'm having steamed greens with mash and a pan-fried fillet of sea-bass .....bought straight from the boat and frozen six weeks ago - at a cost of £5 per kilo ....and I got 8 fillets!

First spends today in A1di, Morry's and B&M totalling £39.30 Hubby was with me which saw the bill increase by £5.68 on what he added to the trolley !!!!

Today I had my first attempt at Samosas and even if I say so myself they turned out really well and will be doing them again just not too often as they have a lot of calories in them all that melted butter in between the layers of pastry

There are no links in it and even when I delete everything and try to save it I get the same error message - any clues?

Faete, I've never come across this, but if it persists maybe you could pm zippychick to see if she can help.
