    Hi

    Life got in the way of March so I lost track at the end although I don't think I was far off - can you put me down for £96 in April please
  • Hi, Why is it as soon as you commit yourself to something you begin to realise how difficult it actually is:confused: I guess clue would be in the word challenge;) . Anyhoo to date I have spent £167-97:eek:. Yesterday I bought some milk, bread and 2 easter eggs for myself and hubby 0-89p at Mr T, They also have the big ones in at £2-25. I bought other bits in town friday. Should be getting a car soon don't know if that will be a blessing. Will have to try hard to resist shopping further a field. Good luck everyone.:D
    Grocery challenge june £300/ £211-50.
    Grocery challenge july £300/£134-85.
  • Morning all!

    Mrs M, I would like to join in the Grocery Challenge this month, so would be grateful if you could put me down for £75 for April.

    This will be from 1st to 30th April, and will only include food shopping and takeaways. Meals out will come under the entertainment budget, while loo rolls, bleach etc will come under Household. There is just me in a one bed flat (pets not allowed), trying to combine OS/MSE with Slimming World - only 2lbs to go!

    Thanks in advance,
    Ro
