January Grocery Challenge 2015

Bobarella

Hi All

Am going to log a NSD now to keep me super motivated today. I still have £1.50 left from my weeknd tips which I can either, use to pay for a bus ride, or if I can manage it, push both my bike & sons bike to his school later (4miles away) then I can claim that money to buy some fruit & a stamp. Which as its from tips is free money. Yes thats the crazy world I live in, my money, free money

Just bought a loaf of bread and some butter £2, have updated signature already. It has helped the homemade mushroom soup down quite nicely. Quite nice to go into a shop.

Now ready for a nap!

I have £60 to last me till pay day (just for food, not for anything else), so I am still within budget! I am so pleased


I did a weekly shop of £35.14 this morning in Aldi, and apart from a few other bits and bobs, I wont need to spend any other money on food this week.


I am so pleased, it looks like I'll come in under budget for the 1st time EVER!
Lets hope so!

1st grocery spend of the month today. Got everything for the January meal plan. Will def. need a few fresh bits before February, but have allocated £30 for these (£10 a week with 3 weeks to go).
Everything else is already in our holiday pot as we're raring to get saving.

So, £12.80 spent here today, including DH buying himself a coffee and toasted tea cake whilst waiting to get his car lights fixed!


We need to go to CostC* later in the week for salmon, teabags and tissues (which are currently on offer) so that will be a bigger spend.


Making broccoli and stilton soup for tonight - broccoli cost me £1 in the greengrocers and stilton was £2.75 in the Co-**. I expect I could have bought both cheaper elsewhere but that would have meant getting the car out to drive to a sm instead of just walking up to the shops in town. At least I have the rest of the soup ingredients in the cupboard and some ciabatta in the freezer.
