July 2015 Grocery Challenge

Islandmaid

£74.00 over 2 days in Mr S and Aldo,s

Came back off 'Mini-moon' last night shot into Mr S for months worth of cat food, ended up grabbing some yogurts for work lunches, £6 meal deal for DS2 as he,s working a few nights this week and sometimes grabs a 'ping' meal after gym and before work.

Did a 'proper' shop today for work lunches and this weeks dinners, also added 2 x Jam sugar as will make a big old batch of chilli jam for us and for Xmas prezzies (sorry:o)

Off to update sig now :beer:

I would like to join the party, please :-) I am aiming for £160 for the month.

So far I have spent £27.81 between Aldi, Co-op, Sainsburys, and Tesco. I went yellow label shopping and got some great bargains, including:

Co-op Reduced Fat Pork Sausages for 85 p (x2)
Sliced red onions 20 p
Microwaveable mash 20 p
Mixed fresh veg 20 p
Tesco Venison Sausages £1.95
Tesco Veal Burgers (no judging) £1.68
Rolo Cookies 60 p
Tesco Pork Joint with Crackling £1.35
Tesco Ready Made Custard 38 p
Sainsburys 5 Jam Donuts 30 p
Sainsburys 5 Custard Donuts 30 p

The rest is store cupboard staples and freezer items. I have plenty of treats for dinner for the next wee while. Hope to have a few NSDs next week - today is my first NSD.

£27.81/£140.00

Can you freeze donuts? Always tempted with a yellow ticket but there's only me that eats them and 5 would be seriously pushing it in one day! :rotfl:

Haha! I don't think so. I ate two this weekend. I have put them in the bread bin to keep them as fresh for as long as possible.

I always freeze donuts ... I normally get whoopsies from morrisons and just take out as I need them for the kids and it's never been a problem for us

First spend of the month for me ... I needed some bits to restock the burger van and it was £5 short for the £5 off at farm foods so I topped up with some bits I needed .. Total spend from my pocket was £2.70 .. Yay !!

I also brought a few buns burgers and sausages home which needed to be used, so these have been cooked and frozen ready for dinners through the week

Evening all

We had a full roast dinner, as such a dreary wet day !! It was lovely and plenty left to freeze for another day


Hope you all have a marvellous Monday
