I have fallen so far behind with my shopping posts, that this one is a quick round up of everything that has come into the house since the last one.
Last weeks Riverford box was a medium box for 2-3 people, and we also choose a couple of extras.
Choosing those extras was dangerous ... those Chocolate Chip and Orange Hot Cross buns were delicious, and lasted barely two days. We both loved them, I might have added them to next weeks order too! 😁
14th Aldi - total of £34.90
Normal shopping in the order it was done and with prices.
This shop was in two parts.
The items above were my normal weeks shopping at £13.15.
These items were a stock up at £21.75. Although when I got home I realised that the Weetabix tin was just about empty, so these will have to be dipped into quite soon.
I went wild in the aisles at Booths on the 18th, spending a total of £54.40. It included treats for each of us and some store cupboard items to stock up. The sun was out, the store was lovely and quiet and I had earned myself some extra cash.
Definitely for the store cupboard were the tins of beans on offer at £7 for 8 cans. A lot more expensive than my usual Aldi's own, but I do like Heinz when they're not £2 a can!!
The Booths receipt.
The finally, and to bring you bang up to date I went to Aldi yesterday morning. I spent £19.68 on a mixture of store cupboard items and a couple of things that I actually needed
The things for the store cupboard were dated and stashed away, although I will have to dip into one of the peanut butters next month as my current jar is almost empty.
So, that's us all up to date.
The reason for the extra available cash this month has been some really good Facebook Marketplace sales, which me and Alan both agreed would be good to use for stocking up before any coming price rises. Seemingly the things that are pretty much guaranteed to rise in price first are cooking oils, chocolate and coffee, but I get my coffee from Sainsbury's were I can usually get the best price, so that's possibly something for next week.
So with apologies to Sue in Suffolk who in this posts comments let slip that she finds shopping photos boring ... hey Sue at least I didn't video it all and talk you through it. 😉

It's only my shopping photos that are boring because I can't think of anything else to blog about!
ReplyDeleteI don't mention my shopping because I'm not a 'frugal shopper'. I spend a good deal more than you! My shopping includes Greek yoghurt (gut health), tins of mixed beans, frozen veg including stir fry mix and spinach, mixed peppers, and of course, our chocolate ration!
ReplyDeleteCould I politely ask, what do you do with tinned potatoes? I haven't eaten them since childhood and my memory of them is that they were slimey!😂
