October 2014 Grocery Challenge

Soworried

A spend of just under £12 today on fresh fish, milk, potatoes, carrots, teabags and some first aid box items.

I'm hoping to get through until Sunday without spending but I'm unsure if I can do it or not.

Few bits and bobs brought today taking us to £89.52 in total so far this month.
Tonight we are having chicken & mushroom pie using filo pastry served with roast potatoes and broccoli. Should imagine there will be some left for lunch tomorrow but think the pastry will go soggy once reheated.
Will probably need bread tomorrow, didn't realise when went today but never mind. Hopefully wont spend too much tomorrow.

£1.24 spend yesterday at Ald*.
Today i have spent £2.55 in M*rrisons and £4.75 in the C*-*p.
Later got Tesco coming which will be £60 odd. It was a very small shop last week, still forgotten a few bits though.
Will update sig when i receive the other shop.

*edit* It was £65.79
Need to calm down a bit, as I've only got £80 to last two weeks incl the half-term. Going to be tough.

no NSD today, I have an appointment with a solicitor and I probably need comfort food afterwards, lol

Hope it all went okay for you Happygreen and you didn't need the 'comfort' food


Yesterday I had to buy plastic food bags (Home Bags 2 x 69p) and treated my self to a ready lentil salad pot and some spelt/honey/sesame seed bread (MnS £3.80). Not had some tasty bread for ages and I'll savour it a slice at a time from the freezer :rotfl:


Managed another NSD today


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday
