last tues I did big shop their is now just 3 of us at home all adults and
2 big dogs
and we have our granddaughter 2 or 3 nights week so got in nappies

I spent in total including cleaning things washing powder conditioner loo rolls etc. and 20kg of dog food

£94 for all of it
I think that is good
we will still buy fresh milk
have £20 put aside if need anything other than milk

son takes 4 rounds sandwiches each day and bis I've made or cakes

hubby has cereal for breakfast I don't eat breakfast

if hungry we will have sandwich lunch time or piece fruit

An we have hot meal at night
tonight it is homemade chilli rice and home made garlic bread their will prob be enough to freeze 1 pot of chilli

plenty of cereal porridge bread if hungry later


I've done meal plan for month but it isn't set in stone I did it so I knew what to buy
already had plenty flour in to make bread cakes biscuits

Im sure I will be able to make it all last I buy fresh meat then freeze it

Well done Bluebell. Do you usually shop monthly or is this a new thing? I've tried before but don't think I'm organised enough

used to do it when my 3 lads were growing up much easier getting it in once then just getting milk an bread daily
3 boisterous sons in super market that rather be out playing
made me decide just once a month
I got them into cooking that way they can all cook
even bake my middle son makes nicest scones ever tasted
they all can look after themselves

you will get their im sure
did have few tempers when they were little
as I wouldn't let them eat loads bis or sweets
and once their pocket money had gone it had gone

advert on tv kid screaming for something so mother gets on floor and does the same as kid

well it certainly made mine think again when we went shopping little whisper in ear lady on floor screaming better than her child
unfortunately my youngest said Go on then
so I either backed down or did it
the looks I got but the laughs from other parents:rotfl::rotfl:
them floors were Damn cold
