February 2016 Grocery Challenge

Billie-jo

My budget is for food, toiletries, cleaning items. Luckily we both get free prescriptions OH because of his age and myself because of a particular illness - good job else we would be paying about £120 between us !!!!
OH went to Ald1 today and spent £ 20.73 but the list only contained items up to the value of £13.68 !!!!! Can't complain as he is doing most of the housework etc at the moment.
Pizza and salad tonight with fruit for afters if needed.

Hi all


I would like to join please. I would like to put myself down for £400. This will be for 4 adults, 1 teenage boy and 2 fussy cats. It will include items such as toiletries and household essentials.


Monday I got a weekly shop for £66.90 and today I spent £4.99 on batteries. So a total of £71.89/£400

Last nights pasta bake has been eaten tonight instead and we had sausages last night.

DS has asked if we can make pizzas for DH birthday so the 39p I spent on non GF bread flour will be added to the GC budget as I will make DS and DH pizzas with this and mine with my prescription flour.

I have ordered a Mr T delivery for tomorrow night so I don't have to go to the shop and spend more. This is in addition to the one booked for next Friday. Both are around £34 after taking off beer which is not out of this budget. If I could stick to this routine for the rest of the month I will be laughing. :rotfl:

I did a top up shop on Monday in Mr M's and spent £7.96. Did my main shop today instead of tomorrow as we'd run out of pull ups - spent £33.50 in Aldee.
Need to get toilet rolls from H*me Bargains and I have a voucher for Mr T's that runs out on Sunday so will get the top up and store cupboard stuff from there.
I also did a top up shop in the C*-*p on friday for formula milk and some YS stuff for the freezer - spent £17.36

NSD yesterday.:T Lots of spend today:mad: Only went out for a couple of items, and ended up with lots of baking stuff. I'm trying to adapt recipes to up the protein and remove the sugar.

Just baked 2 malt loaves (adapted old recipe) so we'll see how they taste. Going to try making rice crispie cakes and 'Reeses' peanut butter cups tomorrow. My sweet tooth is really hampering the healthy eating bit. £37.69 spent and only 3 days in :eek:
