February 2009 Grocery Challenge

Atalanta

My final total was £392.91 out of £400.:j So I'm quite pleased as under budget. It was helped by my complaining in Sainsburys' this morning that when I shopped there last month they didn't deduct enough discount for the 3 for £10 wine offer so they gave me a refund of the difference today which I've deducted from my total! And I've stocked up on another 6 bottles all on 3 for £10 plus 5% discount for buying 6...
Thanks to everyone for all the inspiration:D

Hi, is there a new thread for March. I did my first shop yesterday. £70.20.
I will try the same as previous 2 months £220.

I feel my enthusiasm failing

I need to budget carefully for March as i`ve already bought this months dogfood this morning which has made a huge dent in my budget.

Well started so well with Feb being a short month but struggled during half term but still just came under....declaring 147.55 for feb, so going to stick with same amount for March £150.00....good luck all!

Spent over £38 in Mr A last night!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: I guess I won't be doing a £40 budget this month!
I have the use of a car for a few days so made the most of it by buying as much stuff as I could (I usually only buy what i can carry!) so that's probably what sent the cost rocketing!
Although I really need to start budgeting a bit better. I've not made a proper shopping list or meal plan in months and it's definitely showing in my bidget (although I know i've not been keeping a close eye on what i've been spending either!)
It's about time I started to get a bit more organised and save some more money!

Declaring £322.70 vs £320 budget. A deficit of £2.70 (sobs quietly).

I guess that's a B+ for this month. Aiming for an A* for next month

Declaring February underbudget at £68.47/£100. :j


My target for March will be a little tougher at £90

notenoughcash

Declaring feb at £116.75. over my budget by £16.75, oops!

Will raise my challenge for march to £120 seeing as I failed this month and there are more days to get through!

I am pleased though as it the best i have done in quite a while and is only £7.21 above my target!!
