MrsM (or Pink), I know you took me off before but I seem to be on the annual list again.
Can you please remove me as I don't want to do GC anymore.
Thanks

Hi all!

Not a good start to April already spent a fortune over the weekend
found the local butchers sell a meat pack for £29.99(split between 2 so only £15 out of my budget) and it easily makes 15 meals for 2 people so bought this & a few bits from Sainsburys.
Went on a long walk with the dog yesterday & ended up steering into the local pub for 1/2 a lager was lovely but I'm tightening my belt for the rest of the month as I''m going on holiday soon for a week over easter!

A good point to add is I've lost a few extra pounds I was carrying due to watching what I spend on food is meaning I don't spend money on uneccessary choc/sweets/crisps & spend on a healthy balance diet instead so thanks!

Hello Everyone....

Hi Orkney....sorry
I have taken you off again -I just copy the list from my save file so you were still on there ...you shouldn't appear again (although don't quote me on that :rotfl: )

This will be my first "official" grocery challenge - have been doing them in secret since last year but would like to do it properly now. Please put me down for £300. This is for 3 adults, 1 very fussy elderly cat, pond full of fish and various wild birds who visit my garden for a freebie. My month started last week with a basic ingredients on line shop at Tesco so have already spent £100. The remaining £200 starts today @ £50 a week for the next four weeks. This time last year I was spending over £500 per month on food but with the help of this website have cut it down by almost half.

Thank you :T

Can i be put down for £40 please.
My first time, need to keep myself on straight and narrow - no buying breakfast and lunch on the day.

With April being a 30 day month, I am going to go crazy wih my budget this month. Can I please be put down for £60 this month please? :rolleyes: Wishful thinking I think....

This includes all food and any 'house' alcohol (not nights out), cleaning products and feeding the piggies. This doesn't include petrol! If I make this, I will be delighted. This is just this low for this month, to see how much I can actually cut down even more. Next month will probably be back up at around the 90-s, but hopefully with a better perspective of my budget.

No worries MrsM, I know you do a sterling job with the GC.
Good luck all of you and hope it helps you keep track of your spending!
Will no doubt see some of you around the boards.

Hi can you put me down for 80.00 per week would like to make this less but not just yet my Mr t order is for 78.45 this week so as long as I keep out of the shops I should be fine we will see :rolleyes:

Beki

Hi all!

Can you put me down for £178 for april please

As always, looking forward to the challenge! xxxx

EDIT - changed my £160 to £178, as i realised we're getting our piggies next week and hadn't budgeted for their food!!!
