October 2014 Grocery Challenge

mrs-moneypenny

finally i think the training is working DS2 said last night we were almost out of milk and offered to fetch some, i gave him £3 and said have a quick look in the reduced chiller and see if theres anything good (it was just after 9pm) he came back with 2 4pints of milk and a bag of chopped fresh carrot batons asking us to guess who much in a really manic voice. total spend 50p milks were 20p each and carrots 10p. i let him keep a £1 for going and told him hes got the job in future.
he is nearly 15 so im not letting a baby go round the corner in the dark

You are so organised to have a meal plan in the middle of moving!! Good luck!!

I'm FINALLY doing my meal plan today. Started doing SW again so i need to plan some nice healthy meals. Need to loose the weight for health reasons so DH is justifying the cost. Have exactly 3 stone to loose, wish me luck!

Right.... off to meal plan. Todays main meal is covered. Pork loin dinner.

Should be on track for a NSD again too

Good luck with SW - I've been going since 2010 and reached target is less than a year so have now been at target for over 3 years. What I love about it is that you can eat really cheaply if you want to and certainly at this time of year - after all veggies are reasonably cheap and it's soup and casserole time! You can do it in an OS way using up the YS veggies & meat.

It will be another NSD in the bag for me too - DH has the car so I can't get to the shops!!!

another NSD today x

Brought a few things the other day totalling £9.39 so now up to £56.23.
I made a large pan full of lobby yesterday for our tea and DH took mum some down as its one of her favourites. We are having another bowl full today and then for tea we are having jkt potato with prawns for hubby and cheese for me with a salad.
NSD today and yesterday as I haven't been out of the house as not feeling 100% but may venture out tomorrow at some point.
Have almost done next weeks meal plan only a couple of days to think of so will do that now.

Mother decided to have a ride to a large shopping retail park which I don't get the chance to go to so I tagged along. Spent £4.58 on stuff that was running out but would have cost over £10 at Tesco at the weekend so was more than happy to ruin a NSD for it with savings like that.

Not checked in much as meal planned and have only needed the weekly shop. I'm planning to shop again on Fri eve or Saturday and have made the list for the next 2 weeks (including fresh ingredients as we have so much frozen fruit/veg/bread/milk that we won't need extras). Loving this cooler weather and enjoying some real comfort meals. :T
