November 2014 Grocery Challenge

Caterina

Hello,

Back from Italy, bang on budget, the 180 Euros were more than enough and we managed to get flowers and cakes for relatives in it, and even a meal out! Extra spend on the credit card was taken into account and has already been repaid. So, overall, a really frugal but fun few days.

Just back from MrS where I needed a few top up bits, spend near enough £18 so am going to update my sig now.

Totally shocked by the sadness of Rosieben passing. I knew her in person and she was a wonderful woman. I shall pray for her family.

Am so glad you had a lovely break. Very sad news to come home to.
It makes me think about what is really important in life, people, not stuff.

Picked up a few bits we'd ran out of for pack ups. 7.68 spent. Hoping for a NSD tomorrow and Friday.

£64.63 to add

£27.01spent at Asda online. All stocked up now. Trying to meal plan. Find it difficult when the kids don't eat the same and i need to plan for them on the evenings i'm at work, or they end up not eating properly and then i feel bad for not being there.

Another spend today £11.57 on bread, milk, fruit and freezer bags (stocked up because I know I forget them and they come in so handy for packing food into my small freezer)

Yesterday for the first time I saved some veg ends and trimmings in freezer bags for making veg stock, I also chopped up some floppy celery and added it to 2 bags. It made me wonder why I had never thought to do this before with floppy veg - it's so obvious. I guess as the veg goes in our own compost heap it's not being wasted and I think you just do things on autopilot.

Did a top up shop today round about when I estimated I'd need too Bought bread, milk, eggs and some fruit. I also bought some soya milk for DD so I can make her some porridge and make pancakes for everyone.
