March 2016 Grocery Challenge

FurryBeastOz

Another shop today. Larger than really necessary but I requested a pick-up as I had an Easter Egg and real eggs to get and I could see myself dropping something(gym kit, hand bag, shopping bag etc). So I stocked up on Dentastix (£3 saving on offer) and turkey mince (£2 saving on offer), and some Hobgoblin for the rugby for DH (currently being consumed amid much cheering for Scotland try:D

Now to menu plan the bits I got. And make a batch of chickent curry at half time.

£40.95 spend - learnt an important lesson - do not go shopping with OH. Bottle of wine and chocolate bar we don't need but wont break the bank. This should be me for the month. Pay day on Thursday

So 257.08 if I don't need to top up I will be under budget eeek

A spend of £71.02 today. Spent over a weeks money on the first day but I really needed a big shop as I had nothing in, not even gravy granules & I'd even ran out of SR and bread flour :eek:

Now I need to meal plan it to get the most from it I can.

So far this month spent £117+£40 cashback and £20 on petrol, got a £5 off lidl coupon, will go Wednesday, hope it`s quieter, menu plan before I go and get veg and fresh produce I need, top it up to the £40 with chicken thighs for the dog, hope that will last me well into April.
I have a greyhound and buy her biscuit on-line when a discount offered, as they are classed as working dogs, vat free, a bag lasts a month, £12-99 a bag minus discount, usually at least 10%, I have 4 new bags so need no more until August, she has 1 chicken thigh at night with her biscuit. I roughly calculate her food £1 a day.

Confession - I am quite envious of all those who are able to get YS deals. All the SMs where I live close at 10pm, so no chance for me at all.

No shopping needed for the rest of the week, plus we away for the bh w/end, so definitely no need to buy.
Have a good day all!

I bought a loaf of bread yesterday so now my total for the month is £145.98 so I should make it till the end of the month without going over the £200 target. I got 3 lonely beefburgers out of the freezer, defrosted them, whizzed them up in the food processor, added some spices and tomato puree and shaped them into meatballs which we will have with a homemade veggie sauce and pasta this pm. I even have a small chunk of Parmesan to grate over them x
