January 2012 Grocery Challenge

totally messed up my meal plan this week. was supposed to split a huge lasagne into 3 days worth but came in a bit tipsy from work last night (i work in a pub) and ate a huge portion cold with a glass of wine

sent OH out for chips for lunch today (have got rid of the fryer) and had to get milk again so £3.80 to declare.

Afternoon all
We've just been to A!di and Home Bargains and spent £64.65, checked this in Mysupermarket and at Mr T's would have cost us £92.59 - result !!
Anyhoo added this to the two other mini shopping trips this week and updated my total accordingly.
I now have another £17.05 to transfer to m virtual pot for Christmas

you might find some inspiration on the weekly meal plan thread too, here's a list of threads to check out, that works!

Sorry Rosieben, link does not seem to work

Not updated since Monday, so:
Tuesday spent £3.93
Wednesday NSD
Thursday spent £23.11 which included a 5kg bag of sugar @£3.99 that should last forever! and bottled drinks for DD1 as she is a horror for not drinking enough, she just doesn't think about it unless it is in front of her.
I also got some chicken fillet for fajita's tonight, I used a whole chicken last time I made them, but struggled to get enough meat off of it. Never bought fillets before and at £4 (on offer) for 500gms, I know why:eek:

Collected my new glasses today and boy are they going to take some getting used to, they look fine on, but very unsettling to look through even though the prescription is only slightly different to my old one. Maybe it is because I am used to my old glasses being scratched to pieces and so bent up that I was looking through the wrong bit of the lense (according to woman in opticians)

While I was in town, thought I would see what Bo*ts had in their 75%off sale, was hoping to treat myself to a toiletries set of some description seeing as no-one ever gets me one (maybe they think I smell sweet enough :rotfl:), but all they had was 2 x some celeb set and 3 x times some children make-up set, so nothing spent there.
I was very proud of myself though, right next door to Bo*ts is a bakers and the smell from there was sooooo tempting, but knowing that I would have to confess on here, I held my breath and walked straight past, got home and settled for 2 mulla* light yoghurts and a banana

i also caved into buns and had an cream finger yesterday, ds3 had a lemon cupcake they w're a nice treat for us as we rarely get anything nice, the bigger kids get lovely puddings with there school dinners, and hubbys mum feeds him lunch and he regularly gets nice m7s sandwichs and buns and far too many chippys, i think it's good to give in sometimes

Not a great day spending wise! Some days I manage to be good & then others, like today, I just can't be bothered & buy things that we really don't need & which of course, have put me over target. Hey ho, too tired to be bothered about it today.
