October 2018 Grocery Challenge

K9sandFelines - Some ready made curry mixes for example will contain wheat, I think they add it to prevent clumping of the mix but not sure. I remember Natco curry powder has an allergy advice saying contains mustard and cereals (wheat). Not sure how when I look at the ingredients but that is the problem with cross contamination of wheat/gluten.

As JingsMyBucket said it's an online box scheme. They deliver once a week, on a specific day for your area, to your door. There is a minimum spend and a delivery charge. However they are very good for certain items that are difficult or impossible to find else where. They have gluten free vegan sausages for example, difficult to find and are a nice rare treat. Though it looks like they don't have the dragonfly ones I bought before they have a new brand (bonsan) I haven't tried yet.

Spent £6.89 today.

454g strawberries, 410g brambly apple, 500g red grapes, 6 FF chocolate orange bars and a meat feast pizza.

Fajitas mix on a baked potato for my dinner.
OH will be having pizza for dinner.

£171.84/£200.
£28.16 left.

Been catching up on all the posts. Can any of the lovely vegans or vegetarians advise me as to veggie mince? We are not veggie but don’t eat much meat. I remember TVP in the 1990s was popular, can you still buy that? And where? I can’t eat quorn, I have some sort of violent intolerance (and to some wild mushroom species too so I think it is because it is mushroom based). I love lentils but the texture isn’t the same in a cottage pie and I always end up wishing I’d just made dal instead. We love dal but we eat it once a week as it is!

65p spent last night at work.

I am raging right now :mad:Sorry if this is a little off topic, but it's connected with my grocery spends ...

Went to track my AF order as it was being dispatched today and was receiving emails as such, only to find it had been delivered and during a time slot that had already passed. I'm thinking that's very odd, so zoom in on the DHL Google Earth map to see it has been signed for by someone in my name ( spelt incorrectly) at my old address :mad:. I logged onto Af to see for some reason despite all my previous orders going to my current address and being billed at my current address, this one has been dispatched to my old address but billed at my current address. There is no option to change it on my account, where it indeed shows my current address visible. i had no idea at the time of the order that this had happened as i was on my tablet and phone, so assumed that everything had gone through as it should, and if you check the email it gives no confirmation of the order address which means you have to log back into your account to check.

I have raised a ticket and left an answer message with AF, but don't know if i will be deemed to be in the wrong here.
I also attempted to knock on my old address and there is no answer. I suffer from anxiety, and all this has nearly flipped me over today. Aswell, as having to be in work in an hour!

£31.64 my order was for, and mostly a whole order of food to try out because of current wheat intolerance issues. I could cry

I really hope you get it sorted K9sandFelines. How mean of them to sign for it.

Oh no K9s that's a shame about your order, and so rubbish of the person to sign for it in your name! Hope is sorted soon.

An NSD for me yesterday, and only £2.14 today (some off menu plan drinks for my teenager and some YS pastries for pud today).
