November 2015 Grocery Challenge

Have spent £90 in Morrisons yesterday which takes our budget way over £400 but did get a few things for christmas. But I dont think we got any actual meals which is a little worrying.

Spent £85.20 today in Waitrose. But had a voucher for £14 off ...so £71.20 this week.... and forgot to add last weeks shop which Totalled £90.80


Total spend £339.70/£350.......yay, I only need a loaf mid week, so I will have remained in budget. Really pleased as Ive picked up quite a few extras for Christmas.

Evening all :hello:


Well, new freezer eventually arrived yesterday. So switched on last night and bought some replacement frozen foods as well as usual weekly. Threw it all in the new freezer and will have a sort out the morrow.


Spends today = A*di was £22.49 and Morrys was £52.84. Have divvied it up so that replacement stock came out of my bulk buy fund and usual weekly stuff from my monthly budget. Hopefully will be able to add a bit more to the freezer next week.


Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

Not sure if it's okay to say, but I've just seen topcashback have a £30 off £100 spend for new waitrose online customers, plus a £10 cashback offer. I think it's valid for the next week.

Might help if you're stocking up on christmas goodies.

£8.44 spend in Asda. Spent more than I intended this weekend as I got called to help a friend at work and had planned to do a roast chicken for Sunday lunch, but the favour meant I'd be out of the house too long and wouldn't have time to cook it. So I got some YS mince and did a spag bol instead.

I will have to write off this month, I have totally lost track of my food expenditure, as lost a couple of receipts and hubby has done a couple of top ups, so no idea on total amount spent. See you all in December, where I will try and be more organised.

Hi all.

Final shop of month done in aldo 59.53. Then nipped over to Mr m and spent 8.26. Hopefully I shouldn't need any more this week and spends now up to 300.19. X

Just giving you all a heads up, that the co op are doing a full xmas dinner for £10 from the 16th Dec, ironically no good for me as i'm veggie:D

£7.62 in Aldi today (top up). Spent £20 on petrol and £5 deposit for work Christmas lunch, but they're from different budgets. I wonder whether I can make £6.56 stretch until payday (30th). I want to get hash browns, mushrooms and tomatoes for m'chap coming up at the weekend (I always do a full English), so that will be £2/3. I think I have enough stock of everything else. I'm very tempted to treat us to a bottle of wine - not sure I can get one and still stay within the £200 budget that I'm really aiming for rather than the £300 I set myself, but I would still have spent less than in October. Had a rough couple of weeks car-wise, but am on the up now, and haven't resorted to any takeaways for two months, so maybe a little reward is in order.

Thanks for the 'heads-up' on the 'C' deals but we don't have either retailer here

Duran - you'll get a drinkable bottle of el vino in A*di for 4 squid

Managed another NSD here today

Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday
