This week's spend is £203.79.
Ok so this week I have gone over for the first time and I still need to buy chicken and milk later in the week, so I have failed in my challenge this week. However, in defence I did have to buy all my washing powder, liquid and fabric conditioner plus toilet roll and kitchen roll. Normally I would spread these across a couple of weeks but needs must.
Just a little note about cheese at Tesco: we have started buying Tesco Organic Farmhouse Mature Cheddar (240g) as it is cheaper than all but the really nasty cheap cheeses. It costs €10.59 per kilo in comparison to Tesco own mature at €11.95 per kilo. This is great as I would like to buy more organic products but the expense usually puts me off, but this one is a winner! One slight problem is that my husband and I love the strong taste of it, but the children are not so keen. Oh well I can't always get it right.
This week's menu:
Saturday: Rosti, Fried Eggs and Leeks.
Sunday: Celeriac Soup and Sourdough Bread
Monday: Home-made Pizza and salad
Tuesday: Sausage and Bean Casserole
Wednesday: Pepper Quiche with spicy potatoes
Thursday: Meatballs and Pasta
Friday: Stuffed Pesto Chicken Breast and Potatoes
You are so organised with meals. I can do four days planning ... then lose it on the final 3 days!
ReplyDeleteI try to be, but it doesn't always go to plan, sometimes life gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteI think there should be a contingency on cleaning products and/or health and beauty...they always boost up the bill by at least a quarter! This weeks menu looks delish..and very interesting on the Tesco Organic cheese pricing. xx
