July 2015 Grocery Challenge

NSD for me again ... Kids had stuff from the stores and I used up some of the veggies from my dad

Gotta say I have found that if I just keep away from the shops that's the best as there is no temptation then

Evening all :hello:


Had another NSD here today which takes us to 15 for the month :j Have to get milk the morrow and another couple of bits.


We had HM asparagus risotto today and I added some crispy bacon pieces for DH. Really yummy.


Hope you all have a thrifty Thursday

Had NSD except for yesterday as I bought fruit for the start of the holidays and some ice cream. That was £19, so it looks like we are going to stick to our budget this month!

Will have another NSD today, as I refuse to leave the house

Just DH and myself to feed tonight, so will make mushroom risotto with dried porcini - save the intended posh burgers for another night when we,re all here

Not sure what is happening here lately because I seem to be spending like its going out of fashion. Have just added up spends to date and we are at £192.06 We have fed an extra 2 people twice and 4 people once so am guessing that has played a part. Oh well will see in another 8 days what the damage is. In the mean time am going to the best I can.

I'm having the opposite billie ... This month I've been so good using stores and left overs with free veg from my dad that I've hardly spent anything ��
No free veg for the next week though as my parents are away visiting family ... I am house sitting though so hopefully save some electric and gas, and I can always use some of there stuff if I need to ��

Had another NSD today and had one of the yummiest dinners I've had in ages !!

Gone on then - please tell us what you had


Had a couple of small spends today totalling £9.49. This leaves me with £40 to the end of the month so fingers xd we make it.


We had French cheese omelettes for dinner with salad and DH had chips.


Hope you all have a fantastic Friday

Not had my lappy for the last couple of days as had to get it sorted out at the computer shop because it kept freezing.

Did my main shop yesterday and spent £36.74 so happy with that. Just one more week until the end of the month so should be coming in under budget, although not by much. Hoping I'll also hit my NSD target this month - now standing at 16/20. Should be NSD today, Sunday and Monday (as long as DH doesn't decide he wants something other than bread from the bakers tomorrow!)

Used up some more of the veggies from my dad and a pitta from the freezer .. Had a pitta pizza with goats cheese and fresh cooked beetroot with a side of spicy cauliflower cous cous made with cauli, chilli, red onion, garlic and spices ... Had what was left of the cous cous tonight for dinner too

Had a slight spend of £6.95 as MrA had loads of whoopsies bananas so got 3 bags full for my weight watchers banana ice cream, I also picked up 10 packs of butter that had been whoopsies right down too :T

Evening all :hello:


That pizza and beetroot sounded yummy mumoftwins


We had prawn salad with a kind of rose marie sauce followed by HM tomato soup, to which I inadvertently must have added pepper twice as it was hot enough to call curried tomato soup :rotfl: Oh well - these things happen eh.


Must shop over the weekend. I want to go to F.Foods for a stock up on tuna, b.beans, sugar and washing powder whilst they are on special offer. Will only need a bit of pack-up stuff, milk and some fruit apart from that.


Hope you all have a super Saturday
