I've been struggling this week.
I have £1.50 to last me until monday & I will need milk tomorrow.
Still managing on half what I was so progress is being made.
It won't let me update my signature.

Been to morrisons and lidls today. I spent £16.48 on various things - butter, fruit, bread, quorn chicken pieces, dishwasher tablets etc. Also got some new dummies for my son, some chocolates for his Christmas stocking and a new top (I don't include this in my budget).
Not bad and will see us through until Tuesday when me and a friend go to ALDI :money:
Off to update my signature

Well the throw things in a pan and hope for the best sausage hotpot thing was very tasty but :mad: I'm still waiting for the damn thing to cool down so putting it in bowls instead of the plastic tubs wasn't today's cleverest idea. with the batch cooking I have planned for this weekend, I'm not going to have enough food tubs so thought I would portion into bowls today before transferring to freezer bags. Would be interested to hear top tips for cooling food down....
Freezer bag tied and put it a bowl of cold water. I stopped asking HIM to put my freezer bags away when he gets home from work. Usually i put them on the unit nearest my backdoor boy i need a draught excluder but it does chill stuff quickGc 2013 +26 -5. -4 -7 -14 -15 -10.-8.20 +15p+30+5.80 Dec +9 GROCERY challenge 2014 Jan -2Feb -3 March -1.50 April +5.40 May +4.90 June -3.July 16.50/85

I know it's not quite the same, but maybe have some stock dinner treats at the ready instead? We have a bag of chips in the freezer for treat nights and also some pizza dough. So that way we can have 'take aways' of a home made kind? Just an idea!GC Sept '13: £249.05/£250, NSDs: 9/7!! :j

I started a grocery challenge the day I realised we had a got ourselves in a slight financial pickle. Our grocery spend has decreased every week, can't believe it. We're eating more food as well as a more varied diet, who knew!
