Family of 5 'shop from home'food storage challenge...

savingmore

Hi everyone, have been ill for the last 5 days so have become totally addicted to this site as i lie here on the couch.....just wish i had the energy to put so much of this into practice!!! however i did make dinner in my slow cooker from a recipe on here and it was lovely and will now become a staple.

need to really save some pennies and pounds next year as income just gone down...want to do monthly grocery challenge at 200 per month, am running my freezer and store cupboard right down and actually using stuff at the back instead of covering it up with new stuff... and want to really see how low i can get with my grocery shopping....

can anyone tell me how to put all these things in a signature, haven't figured that out yet:j i love this site and think it is brilliant, and amsure that regular posts will keep me on the straight and narrow when i want to have a splurge...;)

mmmmm - I have all the bits in to make this but think I will leave it until Saturday so I can prepare on Friday evening and finish off on Saturday morning. Weekday mornings tend to be a mad rush getting the boys ready for school and the childminder and myself ready for work.

I have read quite a few of your posts and you always have yummy sounding suggestions, just hope I don't do something wrong!!

Many thanks
Lisa

I "think" you have to click on user cp at the top of the page and then signature. Can't be hard as I managed to do it just am not 100% sure how now!
