November 2019 Grocery Challenge

XSpender

Today is the last day of my grocery month and I have £1.11 left as DH bought him and his boss lunch yesterday.

I am not planning to spend today so unless DH does we might just have made it

Afternoon everyone,
Hope everyone is ok and surviving this miserable British weather! Crickey but I miss the summer.

We ended up doing the little shop today instead of tomorrow and no more shopping/groceries needed so I am confident that I can now close my challenge for November and report that I have spent .....drum roll.......
£212.90 /£210 with 20/ 16 NSD
OK, £2.90 over but I'm very very pleased with that!
That was to feed 3 adults, but one who isn't here all the time, all meals. We've all survived, no hunger or malnution:D plus I have good stocks to see me through next month; as Mr van is a bit of a hoarder/bulk buyer.
I'm so glad I stumbled across this challenge; it really is an eye opener. And what a great bunch of peeps you all are:p

OH is having beef and vegetable stir fry with noodles for dinner.
I'm having a free from vegetable lasagne (picked it up reduced) served with some vegetables, to be decided, for dinner.

£213.16/£210.
£3.16 over.

Morning
I've been helped out here by £8 of Coop vouchers which I've spent.
The freezer is running down nicely but DD2 is coming this evening and I doubt she'll be OK with onion rings and frozen veg...trying to think of a cheap meal which I have most of the ingredients for!

Declaring at £407.14/£400. DH wanted a couple of beers last night and he also picked up sausages and mash on offer at £2.50 in the co-op.

I am pleased with what we have achieved this month. It has been helped with eating a lot of items from the freezer and stocking up last month.

We will need to shop today as out of bread and milk so will pull my Friday shop forward a day. This shop will count in December's budget.

Add some eggs and make it a frittata with onion rings on the side?

Milk had gone off this morning, so trip to shop, and picked up more as usual, but some of that is for Christmas and includes batteries. So £19.29 to add and declaring at £296.65, so my estimate was not far off, glad
I'm under, will see how I do next month, see you on the December thread.

I have £2.79 - hoping to get something nice and healthy for tea from Mozza. Whatever YS on fish/chicken and 50p on a swede - might go bust!

I've spent £4.52 at Adli and £23.63 at Sains since my last post. . I'm not planning on spending much this week, just fruit, bread and snacks, but I'm tempted by the Sains 25% off wine and Tu.
