November 2008 Grocery Challenge

Beki

Hi! I'd like to join for December please!

I have just done an inventory of both freezers, fridge and cupboards, and it appears we have enough to last us until 2012 :rotfl: so i'm hoping not to spend too much in december!

I'd like to set my budget at £75 for december please which includes £25 set aside for xmas week food, plus food all month for 2 adults, a 9 year old, a 3 year old, 1 dog and 9 chickens! oh dear. it doesn't look very much when i see it like that the chicken and dog food will be £15 for the month... hmmm.. will £35 last us for the next 4 weeks, including £5 of milk a week?! maybe i should stop drinking as much coffee :rotfl:

right, well, i'm determined to stick to it! challenge starts tomorrow for me, as that's when OH gets paid!!!

good luck everyone! :beer:

Huxley, I agree with MRSMC you have done really well under the circumstances. It's such a difficult time of year to lose someone.

Huxley - big hugs, hope things start to look up for you and yours xxx

Sharronej - we had a baby boy :-)

I'm declaring £149.27 for November, and would like to set a target of £250 for December

Did a tesco shop today and am surprised at how much nappies and formula cost - had loads of vouchers and stuff, and will be more organised to look for bogoffs etc next month. The cupboards and freezer are full, so am hoping not to blow next months budget - most of it is for xmas food and drink

Good luck for Dec all x

And Good luck for December!!

I'm really sorry to hear that Huxley. It's horrible isn't it? My Dad's funeral is tomorrow and it's my first bereavement. Very very difficult.

I am declaring £178.28 out of £180 for November, but the store cupboards and freezer are now looking spectcularly bare, although I still have 10 cans of tuna

Please put me down for £250 for December including some Christmas bits and family visiting.

All the best
Gilly
