February 2015 Grocery Challenge

Trying_really_hard

Hello people.

Whoever posted that picture of Lemon Meringue Pie (Billie Jo?) has a LOT to answer for I am pregnant and now all I want to eat is lemon meringue. Although, even if I wasn't pregnant all I'd want to eat would be lemon meringue after seeing that picture.

Had a spend of £63.85 in Mr S last night - about £19 of that was on some baby gros/vest things that people had recommended. Will leave it in the budget for now but I do technically have a separate baby budget.

Meal plan all done for the week, save for Sunday as I'm not 100% sure which meat to get out the freezer yet.

Had to buy lunch yesterday at work - whopping £4.36 for a small salad and packet of popcorn and fruit. Rip off. Won't be doing that again in a hurry! That comes out of my own money though.

This weeks shopping trip is over and done. £46.70 and my signature has been updated. I'm now thinking of doing next weeks shopping on Friday except for milk and bread rather than having to drag a reluctant 10 year old round the supermarket with me.

Hello guys, I have my first spend for feb today, a asda delivery means I don't spend on impulse, might seem I have been good but was away for a few days and wouldn't even attempt to add what we spent, but that's not my grocery budgetl:D

Izzy65 I was just speaking to hubby at te weekend about home delivery as it would cost as less - not only less impulse buying but less fuel too

today was a NSD and all food has been from what is in the house so 6 meals and snacks for DH this challenge is fantastic it makes me very aware I would have given left over Sunday roast to dogs and bought something for tonight - instead cold meat and mash with peas tonight

Done rather well this month first grocery spend today, £12.76, a tiny bit of extra discount as Mr T gave me a massive £0.03 off voucher last time I was in there but as they say every little helps. Some crisps and other lunch box bits, potatoes, fixings for lasagne for tonight plus store cupboard (excluding tinned tomatoes as I have 7 tins left still). Also some cheeky profiteroles as they sent me a voucher.

This month has turned into an impromptu clear out/rationalise the freezer and store cupboards month as the freezer was filling up again and got a few random tins in the cupboard. So any suggestions for two tins of mixed beans will be gratefully received.
