March 2020 Grocery Challenge

GreenFairy

Milk, bread ( so much toast right now!), yoghurts for Boy Wonder and two tubs of therapeutic ice cream came to a tenner in MrTs. Spent a very large part of the day scrubbing, sorting and packing up the kitchen in preparation for this week. I've earned my bowl of mint chip this evening!

£14.55 spent today on mainly nothing. Completely thrown out whack by a bad cold so going to have to do a big shop midweek to properly catch up.

Gratified to see I'm not the only one buying chocolate that wasn't really on the list, though - makes me feel a bit better.

But surely chocolate is always on the list?!?! 

I was thinking... I find it hard to get to 'know' people online using just names; a few people do have pics and that helps me enormously - if anyone else is the same, maybe more profile pics would bring a greater sense of community? (NB I realise I haven't got one yet, just getting round to it!)

A small-ish top up of £26.80 spent at the weekend but was mainly on bits I forgot from the main delivery including sandwich supplies.  Poor 10yo would have had nothing in her packed lunch today, certainly no fruit!  I've updated my signature.

Need to work out how to a picture to my profile. I loved my old one, it was a wii-me cartoon and really did look like me whilst not being me.

Another grocery shop yesterday - $69.46. Also found out that DH found shopping with a budget Really Stressful - which might be interesting if he ends up getting the job he's applied for with a significant paycut! We're very lucky not to have needed to budget very much so far. Personally, I quite like the challenge
