November 2014 Grocery Challenge

lushlifesaver

now up to £110 spent with £20 left to last 13 days; in theory we should only need bread/wraps, milk and bf's snacks to take to camp oh and ham. Baby food jars are covered as I put some money on a gift card at the start of the month using one of my health insurance rewards having taken that from the grocery budget already

How sad to hear of Rosieben's passing. My thoughts are with her friends and family.

Sad news regarding rosieben thoughts and best wishes to family and friends....

Big shop yesterday which has brought me to a running total of £148.54/£300.... there will be an additional spend tomorrow on toiletries as I will stock up while I am in town but it will work out cheaper in the long run and I'm being driven there so no travel costs!

Another NSD today, although I had to buy DS a new phone cover, but not from grocery budget so not counting it here. Really struggled at lunch, had stuff for a sandwich in office, but got an offer for fish and chips. How did I resist?

Decided to focus on Grandsons pension fund after car cleared. Target will be £2880. We are not here for long, so I want to make my earnings count.

The news about Rosieben is so sad. The list she did is invaluable to people. I wish her family and friends well during this time. It's never easy when someone dies.

Yesterday we bought a 1kg pot of cashew nut butter for £7 as had a till spit out for H&B that made your highest buy half price! Probably still sounds expensive but as this stuff sells for £2.40 for a 170g jar in Mr S, or £13.99 for a kg pot in H&B, I'm pleased.


So we are at £94.04 for the month.


Hoping for a no spend day today.

Clocking in with a spend of £19.40p, quite a few high cost items in there so not too pleased with myself.

But I did get kitchen roll on offer for £3.30p and £5 of it was for ingredients for some cakes my little boy has asked to make (I have most things but these were very specific items, eek!)... not too bothered, I will, pull it back before the end of the month, I'm sure

Compensating a little by making a chicken broth and dumplings with leftover chicken from Sunday and other bits I have in

NSD here but more as I've been so bleeping busy. Means we'll be eating the same tea two nights in a row hope DH won't mind.

So sorry to hear about rosieben Thoughts are with friends and family.

NSD for me Have been wading through my many bags of frozen vegetables for the past week and I'm pleased to report I can finally shut the freezer drawer without having to fling myself at it Think I should be able to make it until at least the weekend now without any grocery spends, but we'll see!
