April 2015 Grocery Challenge

£19.76 spend for me yesterday. Just downloaded "a girl called jacks " cookbook. Going to go through it and see what I can make with things I have in the cupboard and freezer which are totally full. We are having pizza tonight (was meant to be for yesterday but decided to treat DS1 to chinese as he goes back to barracks today ). I will need to go to Sm for a couple of things today but hoping for a couple of NSDs during the week or I will be over budget. Every time DS1 comes home my shopping list doubles :eek: ( love seeing him though )

I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday so far.

I've watched the Grand Prix, baked some Chelsea buns, cut up the pineapple before it went off, made my lunch and breakfast for tomorrow at work, as well as completing the Sunday housework.

Spent £16.56 in Mr T yesterday to supplement a few bits and pieces and then got home to find a nice £6 off £60 delivery for Mr S, which I took full advantage of for delivery tomorrow. Stocked up on a few cleaning essentials before going on Mat Leave (Fairy Liquid, Kitchen Roll and the like, all on offer). The shop should could in around the region of £54 but I'll confirm tomorrow once it's been delivered.

Off to update the old signature and then probably take a nice shower and put a face mask or similar on. I'd like to paint my toes but I'm too pregnant to get anywhere near them now with becoming a contortionist.

Did the weekly shop today. Came in at a whopping £14.97. Shouldn't need anything until next Sunday now. Famous last words!! Got a lot for my money, and still working through the stocks at home too - making slow and steady progress!

Just a visit to the butchers on Saturday and spent £11.80 - but that's enough for 5 meals for the 2 of us, most of which will actually be used next month, although we did use a couple of burgers for lunch on Saturday when we got back - so only 4 meals into the freezer!

Also had 2 more NSDs since shopping last week (Friday & Sunday). Today will be another NSD but not added to signature yet!

Just a quick update to the signature. £20 spent yesterday - £3.50 in Weight Watchers, the rest in Asda. See DFD for what's bad about that.

Hi folks, been awful with my GC budget this month. Too many days out over Easter weekend (and beyond) as OH been off work on holiday. In an attempt to salvage things I am setting myself the challenge of spending no more than £25 until payday on April 25th.
