January Grocery Challenge 2015

Another NSD for me - that's 3 in a row and 6/20 yippee :j

Spent another £28.15 at A*di and £15.69 at A*da this week - total of £120.05 this year. At first I thought that was horrendous but then I remembered that I ran down our food stocks completely before Christmas, as we were away over Xmas/ New Year, and that the figure also includes lunches for me every day - so not too bad, considering.

Not managed any NSD so far this year though :eek:

NSD no. 6 for me. Managed to resist the temptation to get a snack or even a lunch at a cafe today, during a community event locally. DH was supportive of the NSD and this made it easier to walk away from the temptation.

Tomorrow will be a shopping day as am out of sliced bread (for DS) and butter, and salad.

....totaly gutted my fridge freezer full of food has deforosted over the weekend I could cry! So much food wasted sad times.

As someone said you could maybe save some of it and cook it up - do you have a friend/family etc that could help with temp storage. I think you should check your home and contents insurance as lots of them cover things like this. Good luck


Did quite a big shop today.
Mr T = £4.59
Morry = £21.97
A*di = £19.40
MnS = £20.30
So total of £66.26 - £20 off bulk buy for mince and stewing beef and £46.26 off grocery.


I'm still hopeful to stay in budget as should not need anything except milk before next weekend fingers xd as have done menu for week and have everything I need :T


Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

Have you got some white vinegar as that's just as good

what caused the defrost? are you in an area that's been hit by power cuts?

No its broken so I'm running on a smal Chester freezer now but there's no space to put anything in there! X

Yeah I have white vinegar, but surely that will make it smell of vinegar?? :shocked: Or is this a secret tip I don't know about

Good Morning!

Another NSD yesterday. I've lost count of how many that is, but I think it's 6 now. Think I'll work it out later and add it to my sig.

Having to spend today. Need bits for lunch boxes. Will work out a meal plan today and grab what I need when I go to work tonight. Can't afford much as we don't have a lot of free cash left. I get paid on Friday, so will have the budget for the rest of the month.

A little late I know but please can I join?

I've been lurking on this thread for the last few days and really think this will help me save some money! My husband is working away for most of January so only really me to buy for.

So far I've spent £56.55 this month.

I get paid on 23rd Jan so I'm aiming for a total of £100 this month

Here goes!!
