We have done quite well with spending on food this week. Since the home delivery last Friday we haven't needed to buy anything else until yesterday. As luck would have it, our Humax box (for recording TV progs) finally gave up the ghost on Tuesday night so we drove to Curry's in town yesterday to buy a replacement at a cost of £179 😱 As we don't go out at night, it's our main source of entertainment so a bit of a necessity really. Anyway, the trip also took us close to an M & S food store and we couldn't resist the temptation 😉 We bought some salmon, 3 pasta chilled meals for £7, some pasties, some fruit and salad - y bits a cherry pie, cream (YS) and some cheese hot cross buns... Yes, Cheese! Never seen any before...
We intend to toast one each for lunches with a good knob of butter or a poached egg. In total we bought the makings of 5 meals plus treats for the sum of £23.89. This has been added to the total below.
Do you have a Topcashback account? If so did you know you can spend £1.50 or more on a chocolate Easter egg, upload the receipt and get £1.50 cashback? Potentially a free egg..
I'm going to take up the offer at some point soon. Its too good to pass up!
Thanks so much for popping in and please be safe wherever in the world you happen to be x
April Food Budget: £64.99 /£200.00
I don't think I'd like cheese hot cross buns, hope you'll report what they're like.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, the cheese hot cross buns sound interesting. Not sure if I would enjoy them and like Chris I hope you will let us know what they are like.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That's good that you were able to get your grocery shopping done at the same time and saved yourself a separate trip. Enjoy those hot cross buns!
ReplyDeleteCheese hot cross buns sound right up Alan's street, he would top them with strawberry jam.
ReplyDeleteWe once bought him a cheese scone in an M&S café when we stopped for coffees and the lady on the till said 'you've picked up a cheese scone instead of the sweet one, do you want me to swap it for you? she was horrified at him having jam with it.
I've been picking up freebies from Booths, last week was a Magnum Ice Lolly that I had to give to Alan, but this weeks is a dairy free chocolate bar ... just for me :-)
Cheese scone with jam??? What! Shock...horror...It's the sort of thing G would do. He's eaten jam on cheesy muffins before now ...lol.
DeleteGreat freebies from Booths, Sue, too good to miss :)
