February 2023 Grocery Challenge

I've just been building an order for a lunch we are putting on here at the weekend and I notice Morries has three chickens for £10 at the moment. It had been 2 for £8 for a while but the 1.4kg chickens are good to keep in the freezer her for us!

£32.99 left for 1 more shop on Saturday to round out the month - think I’ll about scrape in.

£117.01 / £150 spent so far.

Since i was last here, I've spent;

£8.11 at a small supermarket,mostly reductions, but also a pasty each for OH and I, when we went out to get lamb milk. £22.08 in Morrisons, mostly veg and salad. £14.50 in the veg shop, including biscuits and sweets, (OH came in with me). Not many boxes with veg in, mostly fruit, hence the spend above in Morrisons.

Total for these is £44.69. Total to date, £358.48/£2640 for the year.

Quite pleased with this, as we are most way through February.

Hugs to all, mumtoomany.xxx

DAY 2 - we have lots of cereal to use up as children have left us with open boxes of choc and ordinary rice krispies and choc hoops as well as all of our usual cereals. Lunch DH had half a bake it yourself loaf and I had a cheese and chutney wrap with an apple for afters. Out at commitee meeting tonight so fish finger sandwhiches before we leave. Also working our way through lemon meringue made yesterday. 🍋😋 £5.10 spent on bread and a tin of fruit.

Another spend of £7.54 today on some tomatoes, lemons and a few bits for the food bank. One of the lemons was enjoyed with pancakes this evening so I just need to think what to do with the rest. Maybe some lemon drizzle cake is in my future! I might also slice and freeze some for use in drinks. 

I'm up to £181.40/£250 now and I should be ok with what I've got in the house until next week's supermarket delivery on Tuesday.

My grocery bill runs from 20th to 20th. 

So far I have spent £32 as my top up.  I have a few meal ideas sitting in the freezer and fridge, couple of mix n match things in the cupboards so I'm going to try and stretch it out this month.  Last month I went way over budget.

 both DH and I are at family funerals separately as they are on the same day in different parts of the country.

Aww, that is so sad 2Scratters. I hope the day goes as well as can be expected for you both. How difficult not being able to support each other.

This morning needed bread and milk ,so spent £6.34 on that. I thought that would be all my groceries today. When 14yo daughter came home from school, she had a shopping list of things she wanted for pancakes  . Went to 3 different supermarkets looking for strawberries  , none to be had. Ended up buying maple syrup in Lidl (£3.89), assorted spreads, marshmallows  and whipped cream in Sainsbury (£5.45).Total spend £15.68

£249.19/£300

Hi everyone, sorry for my absence this last couple of weeks, I have had an awful cold which has refused to budge, I’m still feeling it over two weeks later!

I don’t have a list of spends but we have pretty much only been doing our Sunday shop. Apart from this weekend when I was away from home and husband took the grocery funds, I believe he spent some of it but he didn’t keep any receipts.

This week’s grocery shop was £71.49, plus £10.50p for dog food. The kitty currently holds £39.96p, so we are still looking good as the months ends

Reporting over budget this month which not overall happy about but bagged  few bargains especially in Morries which I couldn't leave on shelf so hopefully will balance it self out next month packs of  Salmon, Chicken Breasts, Chicken and Leek pie, their own fresh  curries all for £1 each few packs of mash and fresh pilau rice for 25p for once in at right time will need bread and milk etc  till 27th so currently at £315.36 out of £250 budget  just off to update total.
Hope funerals go ok @2Scratters unfortunately we had my lovely MIL last week.
