November 2014 Grocery Challenge

january_23

Kiwiblue I'm sorry to hear about the chemo. I hope everything works out for you. Will be sending good thoughts your way.

A&C arrived this morning. That's another £37.03 to add, so the total is now £131.07.
If I don't want to spend more than £160 that leaves us with £28.93 for the rest of the month otherwise we have £68.93 left. Here's hoping for the lower, lol.

I really, really want to order a pizza...

Can anyone remind me why I shouldn't. I've wanted one since friday and the craving won't go away

Much cheaper to make one or if not then go nearest sm and buy one and cook it yourself - still cheaper than ordering a delivered one

Went shopping over weekend and spent
A*di - £ 19.10
Mr T - £ 14.45
Morrys - £ 14.95
So total of £ 48.50 added to siggy. Should only need milk for the rest of the week. I suppose I'd best get on with a meal plan for the week as it's Monday already.

Managed another NSD today

Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

£3.42 spend for me at asd* today.
DH went to Tesc* with a list BY HIMSELF I don't know if that was a good idea but will find out how much he spent when I see him tomorrow (he is nightshift).
Hopefully I won't have to buy much apart from fruit and veg for the rest of the week.

Have cracked and done a Mr T emergency order. DH rang and went nuts at lack of bread and potatoes. Time for an acknowledgement that £200 for november will not be enough. So tomorrow £25 is arriving. The challenge will be now to see how little I can go over. In fairness have fed 10 or so extra 3 meals a day for 2 days with stuff that was in, cost around £30, so I should not be too miserable. There had been mention of a takeaway (would have been £100+)

Hi all

love living with a lunatic. After a lovely meal of mystery meat from freezer which turned out to be rabbit and lots of veg DH has driven to town as he can not manage without bread until tomorrow am when Mr T was to deliver, "But" says I, "you will not need it until lunch, after Mr T delivers" he responds straight faced " I dare not risk it, I have to have bread in the house NOW"
So I have cancelled whole order, and as I am away from weds to sat I will not be doing another shop. Bread he wants and bread he will get until sunday! In the words of all teenagers in wales "Thatll learn him gwd" Am laughing so much as i am back on target:rotfl:

Always wondered when you do lots of supermarkets are you selectively buying their bargains, do you research before you leave home,msm or something? just being nosy

Illustrating my bi-polar nature I just had a bowl of porridge.

And I decided something - I have about £20 in the house. Plus my £3.95 left in my challenge this month.

I intend to spend no more than this £24 until 1st Jan...

I have a full stacked freezer, and heaving cupboards. I've even got 12 litres of UHT and 4kg of oats... what more could a girl want:rotfl:

No sneaky Pizza. Though i may have to make some calzones for the freezer this weekend, I was planning on cooking a gammon anyway

What is it with men and bread. My DH is the same. He has to know theres spare bread and milk in the fridge/freezer all the time it's mad. We can end up with three 4 pint cartons of milk at a time. Crazy
