February 2022 Grocery Challenge

QueenJess

I *should* easily meet my Jan target of £115 a week and I definitely have lots of scope to reduce.  So going for £100 a week for Feb, which is a target of

£400 for the month.

My month will start when I do the bulk order for the month next weekend.

First spends today. Spent a lot but had a few expensive things to buy and hoping it lasts us into next week.

£26.31 in aldi on 6 litres of fizzy drink, 2.75 litres of bleach, 1 litre of juice, 6 pints of milk, deodorant, toothpaste, frozen ready meal, beef short rib, 2 pizzas, 4 Bananas, 1.5kg potatoes, pancetta, pancakes, yoghurt, loaf of bread (YS), 2 pasta cup shots, pack of kitkat style bars, 6 bags of crisps and a pie.

Then another £22.48 in asda on 8 litres of fizzy drink, vegetarian bacon, 4x vegetarian pies/lattices, 2 vegetarian escalopes, potato gratin, sliced smoked cheese, grapes, maple syrup, toothpaste, 12 eggs (YS) and a hot cross bun loaf of bread (YS).

Didn't need all the vegetarian stuff but it was 4 for £6, so we stocked up. 

Meal plan:
1. Veggie sausage casserole with mash
2. Pasta with meatballs for OH, probably just plain tomato and cheese for me
3. Red Thai curry with noodles
4. Pie and mash
5. Pea and ham risotto
6. Veggie sausages for me, beef for OH, with potato gratin
7. Pizza

We're already on £48.79/£200

I was just wondering if you had a treats and entertainment budget - I have put in bold the things I would move to that (since the pandemic ours includes spends for home treats as well as going out)

May I join in? I've been lurking on the January challenge and have found it very useful in keeping me mindful of my spending. Also recipes  

£180 budget please!
