    Only just remember I haven't posted how we did!

    Well, for our first month, we aimed to spend no more than £250 on grocery shopping and household stuff. That's for 2 adults. In the end we chucked petrol in it and the grand total for March is £331.89

    Our greatest flaw is the 'top up' shops. Pop in for bread and milk and come out £25 lighter :eek:

    Obviously we need to work harder at saving in April. Lots of stuff in the cupboards/freezer so hopefull, we'll use them up rather than spend lots on 'top ups'.

    Aiming for £250 again - see how we go!

    Good luck everyone :j

  • Having Easter in this months challenge certainly makes it more of a "challenge" for most of us. Having the children home, daytrips,extra fuel,easter eggs-money,money,money.There again, as careful as I am with it, there is only ever one use for it-TO SPEND(carefully)
    Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults
