Grocery Shopping Part I
Grocery Shopping Part II
Grocery Shopping Part III

It's time for the fortnightly shop again and I was surprised to see that we've still got loads of frozen food left from the last time, despite spending less money. This means I'll be able to make a huge saving this time round as I won't need to buy as many meals.

After adding what we needed to the shopping cart, the bill came to a shade over £40, more than half the average cost before I started this project. I got a voucher code from this website to get £10 off, but this only worked for orders over £50, so I added a few extra 'luxuries' (including a scented candle, a pizza cutter and a bread knife) to the list to tip it over the £50 requirement. So, essentially, I got these items for free.

I don't expect to be able beat this amount next time because we won't have as much left over in the freezer but I think it's possible to get a similar figure once every third two-weekly period. My aim is to spend no more than £200 every 6 weeks, which averages around £67 per fortnight. That's a saving of around a tenner a week and over £500 a year!
