Shopping done this morning and a spend of £8.96 on a stock up of dog salmon chews and a couple of packet of reduced crisps. Then onto my favourite shop Aldi and spent £42.96.
Loving the lovely different small squashes they have in at the moment. Bought two to roast with butter, herbs and garlic then mash in some feta when cooked.
Finished off at MrT and spent £11.17. Need to visit local butcher tomorrow for a chicken kiev and some sausages so that should not be too much of a spend.Grocery Challenge - Sept £205.56/£350.000 -
NSD for me & I don't plan to go near a shop until Friday. Weekends tend to be the challenge as pop in for one item and buy a basket full

Your post reminds me of my Mum's chicken pie filling -
Leftover roast chicken, usually just the pickings off the carcass and the wing meat, maybe a drumstick or two, with a tin of campbell's condensed chicken soup and a tin of sweetcorn, all mixed up it make a wonderful quick pie filling - a real family favourite in our house to this day.

Had a few spends this week, need to tot up receipts. Slowly57 - thanks for the my supermarket tip. Morrie's do do pecorino cheese just couldn't find it on the day I wrote about it, but did find if the next day.
However, the whole recipe was a disaster. We will maybe try it again but use smaller measurements for the ingredients as we had z lot left over & tasted a bit too eggy...but the main thing is that we tried & thus one didn't work out. Will try it again but probably change bits of it.
Have a good evening all.

I have to report some sad news. I went out to my outside freezer on Thursday, to get something for dinner and to refill the inside freezer that I'd just turfed rank-looking stuff from, only to find that the door was open and the stuff had defrosted.
The freezer is as tall as me, with six shelves full of hm soups, batch cooked meals, ys bargains, etc etc etc. I had to walk away and let dp deal with it, otherwise I'd have cried!
I have decided to leave it off for now, and I'll turn it on when/if I buy some Christmas ys meat bargains.
So, I now have my tiny indoor freezer, with one shelf for bread, fruit and veg, one for meat, and one for meals and puddings.
It now means that I'm limited as to ys shopping, but what I do have, is good stuff. Bit of careful planning required from now on, I think!
Made a cottage pie for dinner tonight; did the three of us for dinner, and I have two lunch portions for tom and thurs. I'm determined to not buy lunch out this year!

Oh dear - I'm soo sorry to hear that. I know it can be devastating as my freezer gave up the ghost earlier in the year. Fortunately, it was a chest freezer and I managed to salvage about half of the stuff in there as still frozen in the middle. If you're like me, and rely on it for stocking up bargains and batch-baking, I'm sure you'll soon want another one. BTW, chest freezers tend to be more reliable and cheaper to runPennyGrabber wrote: »...
