I've just sat down this evening to work out what I've spent over Christmas and New Year, so between 15th December and 3rd January.
Not sure if it's good or ridiculous/wasteful, so would appreciate opinions.
This is for all food and drink for that entire period, including:
1x free range Bronze Turkey, 5.46kg
1 x smoked gammon joint, 5.8kg
1 x unsmoked gammon joint, 5.2kg
1.1kg smoked salmon, some standard, some Extra Special brands.
●Christmas dinner with all the trimmings to cater for 6 (no child portions), including all drinks.
●Boxing Day full roast for 9, again with all the trimmings.
●All snacks, biscuits, chocolate, drinks, etc, for both those days.
● Get together for 7, including hot buffet, snacks, all drinks, and party game with 30 decent 'prizes'.
●Get together for 8, same as above.
Both get togethers lasted 7-8 hrs, so catered for enough party food, snacks, chocolates/biscuits and drink for the entire time.
This total also includes £22 on stamps, but not the cards as I bought them in January when they were cheap (probably about £8).
This also includes all presents for 2 teens (mine), my partner, my family and our friends/neighbours. Family and friends totalled 27 people, including 9 children, and 3 couples (counted as 1 person).
My total comes in at £940.14, and I probably still have enough food in to not need to do a food shop until sometime next week.
AIBU to ask what have others spent, and for how many, etc?
Thanks.
