April 2009 Grocery Challenge

I am quite pleased with myself this month it looks as if I am going to come in under budget for the first time in a long while - April doesn't finish for me until Thursday so I will declare then.

Good luck to all

I am so confused...why is it may already??

Some of us work 1st of month to last day of month.

Others work pay-day to pay-day. And as pay-day isn't always the last day (or even last working day) of the month, this means some people start their month earlier than others.

hi,
After an absence for a couple of months due to increasing pressures with the family I've decided to jump back on board. Husbands business isn't going so well (attached to the car trade) so I'm going to set our budget for £100 - this is for five of us (all adults) but doesn't include milk because that's a set figure every month. I don't think I can keep it up for long but any little helps as they say!

Good luck Sharronej I am once again over but I will declare when I get paid so I can do a payday to payday challenge and hopefully be easier to work out what I am spending!
I did make Queen Delia's low fat carrot cake (with notso low fat buttercream on top ) and it was delicious and so easy to make and so much cheaper than shop bought
Anyone know if you can freeze buttercream as I made a bit too much!
