    Ahoy ahoy I've been waiting for you all!! :D

    Budget to stay at £200, thank you sweetie!! ;)

    Budget started yesterday and have already spent nearly £124!! :eek: :o:D

    Bought some meat and have a DR mince and sausages order on the way so I haven't frittered the money away! Still will need to keep an eye on it and meal plan properly to make sure I stay on track until the 19th Feb.

    Hello everyone

    Have done GC in the past but fell off the wagon a great deal! I do lurk lots, but would like to start chatting with you all again. Need to get back on track before March, as our income will drop a lot, so please may I re-join? Can I aim for £400 for February for 3 adults and 2 small children to begin with?

    Thanks a lot, will be back to keep me on the straight and narrow.

    A xo

    Please could you put me down for £300 this month as I easily proved that £400 is far too much last month despite usually spending £600+ on a regular basis - I'm feeling goooooood!!!!!

    Hi everyone!

    I haven't done a grocery challenge, or a money saving challenge for such a long time! EEK, months!

    I'd like to rejoin though, we currently spend about £160-170 a month on groceries. I'd like to aim for £150 for febuary. This will be a real challenge for me, as I am already pushing my own boundries and cutting back.

    This is for myself, and my OH. We are 24 /25 and getting married in August, so really wanting to save more money for this.

    I'm hoping we can manage this as a family. Sat down with my husband to talk about clearing the debts, he didn't seem over enthused. I think he thinks I can conjure money up! I work full time and he works pt in the evenings, so he keeps popping into coop for bargains. I told him this has to stop and we need to be realistic. Fingers crossed
