March 2009 Grocery Challenge

mrspoor

Just placed my last food order for the month - will be getting my Mr A order on Monday, so will be able to declare for March then. Order should be about £62, so fingers crossed, should be under budget!!:D

It also means we'll get a good start to April, as cupboards, freezer and fridge should be nice and full - we'll see how long that lasts though

Well done everyone who has already declared for the month!! :T

Hi there everyone, haven't had much time to read this month again - don't know where the time goes! Had loads of meetings for Guides and governors in the evenings - hopefully the Easter Hols will give me a chance to catch up!
I'm delcaring at £206 this month - my first with a new end date so fell I have done OK - just under budget. Will go for £280 next month please Mrs M - hopefully the hols won't add too much to the budget!

Good evening. I had a free delivery offer from Ocado so I had a top up delivery today. I have made the pizza dough for our pizzas tonight. The brownies have been devoured and I never did any baking last night so I will bung some hobnobs in the oven after dinner.

Hello everyone

At last I'd like to declare March closed at £425.08. I'm not as chuffed as I thought I would be, but only because I really thought I was going to get away with tuppence ha'penny of a spend. Weird because I was sure I'd be living off the freezer and, although I did eat all the old stock, my freezer is still full so for that.

It's really been quite a leveller for me. The things I thought I didn't buy, I bought too much of. The things I thought I really needed? Turns out I don't really need it. I fell for the yellow sticker routine, even if it was a tiny saving:o

I did a check of all my shopping over the last year and I reckon to have averaged £500-£550 pm so I'm surely on the road to recovery. I will persevere though because it has been enlightening (and you're all really nice :T )

So, I'd like to ask Mrs M to put me down for £400 for April please

So, for April I
