November 2014 Grocery Challenge

Hi everyone

Went for a quick shop last night on way home from work. Didn't work out as cheaply as planned as I decided to pop into Mr T's which is next to our local Aldi to save time. Between the two shops spent £69.36 of my £200 budget. Only saving grace is that now I'm back on SW I got loads of fruit and veg, so no excuses:rotfl: Freezer is fairly well stocked too.

Will need to get toilet rolls over the weekend so planning a wee trip to Farmfoods as I love the Nicky ones. Kitchen roll excellent too.

Keep it low people x

How much is toilet roll there?
I get 18 rolls of Nicky in hom5 barg*ins.
Is it cheaper in farmfoods?

I used the quote icon but it doesn't look like other people's quotes...I'm on a kindle??

I think it's £3.95 in ff00ds. We get them all the time now. So much cheaper than posh brands.

It's the same price as HB then.
Thanks x

Online shop from Sainsbug's to add to my total. Spent exactly £45 there, so now at £46.55/250. Will need bread at the weekend but other than that, shouldn't need anything until do next week's shop. Though I might pop in the butchers at the weekend as they do some good offers, and I prefer their meat to the supermarkets.

Got vouchers through the other day for Tesco's, so will probably get next week's shop from there! Got lots of household things this week, so hoping next weeks is a bit cheaper.

Officially my Nov budget doesn't start till Saturday but as I had an Ald* voucher to use that expired today, I have bought next weeks shopping today. None of it will be used until Saturday as we have everything we need for our menu plans for tomorrow already in.
I spent £23.91 of the grocery budget.

Spent my first real cash yesterday
£5.71 in Mr M on a few fresh fruit and veg bits.
No idea about dinner, wanted to do something spooky for the kids before I take the eldest one trick or treating. I don't know what to make though....
I'm making toffee apples for desert.

Payday today, so can't spend anything until all the dd's have gone out on the first...

spending at least part of today meal planning for an online shop to be delivered monday. hoping to use a sainsbobs £20 off a £60 spend for a first shop - unless anyone knows any better offers?

Only ever shopped from tesc* before.

Tes** delivery today as we are having a deluge of people arriving next week.
£92 of my £200 gone already, masses of veg, milk, butter, nearly all tesco value range. Got lots of meat and cleaning stuff in stock already.
Made victoria sponge and coffee sponge this morning, also cleaned all downstairs and used massive of cheap rate electric. So feel like a domestic goddess apart from concern about sticking to £200. Could be a long month.
