May 2009 Grocery Challenge

Cheapskate

I second TheBees comment, but I will admit to it being WELL over my target!

Please put me down for £400 for June - will update sig in a mo.

Thanks - will be back soon.

I`ve not even added up my reciepts yet but mine will be embarrassing too

When i`ve finally prised all the missing ones from DH i`ll add it up and [STRIKE]faint[/STRIKE] post the total but it may be some time. I know its bad as i keep asking for the reciepts and he`s always too busy to look for them :rolleyes:

My App Foods order arrived today - so I've finished my calculations and am now ready to declare for May.......

This order (which came in at £30.66 before delivery) blew my grocery budget for May - I initially set that at £119.50, but after my son came home on leave this should have been increased to £132.10. I managed to spend a total of £138.71, but some of this was stock-piling while making the most of the Mr M vouchers. My 'year to date' budget is actually still in the black though - by a 'whopping' £5.14 :rolleyes2

May figures ended up as

Food Budget / Spent / Whoopsie spend / Whoopsie 'real' value
to 30/04/09 £541.50 / £529.75 / £198.96 / £771.77 May : £119.50 / £138.71 / £27.27 / £93.96 as of 31st

which update my new 'year to date figures' to

Food Budget / Spent / Whoopsie spend / Whoopsie 'real' value
to 31/05/09 £673.60 / £668.46 / £226.23 / £865.73

Yay i got the reciepts :j

Boo i`ve worked it all out :eek:

My total for May is £235.40 :eek: only £115.40 overbudget.

On the plus side i have a stock of loo rolls and dried food like pasta and rice etc and i think that if i took this all off the total it wouldn`t be so bad but tbh i can`t be bothered, i`ve failed yet again - 2nd month in a row but I`m about to start afresh on the June thread
