February 2015 Grocery Challenge

JustStartingOut

I bought a 2 litre bottle of milk last night as OH used the rest for his cereal yesterday morning.
Open the fridge to find another two 2litre bottles in the fridge bought this morning :eek:
Wonderful communication skills we have :rotfl:

£32.17 spend in Tesco today, though it included kitchen goods a timer, colander, mixing bowl and a 1D reduced calendar for DD. I've still added it to our grocery spends as it came out of the same budget.

Spent £17.35 in Mr S yesterday.

Total now £105.45 out of our £200 budget.

We're having home made pizza tonight (mine will be gluten and dairy free lol) with home made wedges and salad. We'll be having that with a couple of alcoholic drinks each while watching a film on the TV.

Left over pizza from tonight will be lunch tomorrow.

Pft... just ordered a take away to be delivered tonight... £20.

That said, should be plenty to feed me today and tomorrow, maybe even work on Monday.

Got a £5 discount and free delivery/bottle of coke because I helped the owner when he had an electrical blowout a few months back.

Spent a scary £23.35 today after I was told I have to eat certain things and naturally they are the more expensive ones. (Typical) So we now have £77 left to last till end of month. Going to be interesting if nothing else.

Hello hope everyone is having a good weekend

Going to update then go back and read posts.

9th £11.10
10th NSD (5)
11th £9.70
12th £16.53
13th NSD (6)
14th £3.00 / £5.39 / £5.40

I went to 3 different shops today to get the benefits of cheaper items and offers. The 3rd shop was the only place that had soya milk but it turned out to be on offer so it was a stroke of luck that my usual place was sold out as I saved £1.05 Sending DH back on Mon/Tues to get some more before the offer ends.

Totally over budget now but I am reducing next months budget by the amount I go over as I have a freezer which is jam packed! I have £6 to last until Fri, I may find myself making bread in the week.

http://www.frugalqueen.co.uk/2014/05/butternut-squash-risotto-with-blue.html we had this for lunch without the sausage and o my it was fantastic. So far so good for a nsd. I am trying to work out where I went wrong this month. I now feel like I have been on a diet that's gone all wrong you know when u mess up a diet and afterwards you want to eat and eat. Well all I want to do is spend and spend. I will set next months budget higher so instead of feeling I have failed I will feel pleased I am making it. Also struggled as have not brought as much junk. I will learn stick with me I can do this.
