December 2010 Grocery Challenge

Please can you put me down for £50.00 for December?

Already spent £2.38 today on toilet rolls and a newspaper. I doubled up £5 worth of my clubcard vouchers today and got myself some pj's as have been really cold in bed lately

Slightly annoyed though as got them home and the bottoms are 2 sizes too big (I suspect someone has changed the packs as the hanger and top are the right size) so i'll have to take them back tomorrow and swap them. Luckily I only work a few minutes walk away.

Not really grocery related, but saved myself a bit of money today by cancelling going to our work xmas do. I've only been there a couple of months and very few people are going so i'm not just being a total misery! It's over £20 for what is really just a roast dinner and i'd rather spend that money on something else.

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and warm in this cold weather :snow_grin
Couple of small spends today & yesterday to stock up a few bits and pieces, and managed to get some whoopies which I have used today to make soup for OH to take to work, he is on nights, and chicken tikka masala for tea.

Going for a NSD tomorrow and hopefully Friday too :T

Ah well we would be rich if we didn't have kids...and mine are all taller than me so I cant whack them anymore:p Only kiddin;)

Mine too, my eldest lad is 6ft 5 (21 yrs) however I can still bring him down to size with a quick pull of his ear or if I stand on my tip toes (me 5Ft3) I can still give him a timely whack......the only problem is that he then picks me up and moves me out of the way :rotfl:

First spend tonight at MrT's, dh took me down in the car spent £56.50 but that included some coffee for the cupboard stock and cheese on B1g1F so have put one in freezer, also two deep pies for the freezer so should be able to stretch over a couple of weeks. Got some reduced bacon so will make a couple of quiches up which will stretch the bacon over a couple of meals.

Getting greyer by the day

£120 for me this month please. I totally blew last month's attempt at £100, coming in at an idiotic £70. Too many take-aways!
