July 2009 Grocery Challenge

Reverbe

I started this a few months ago but lost track Can you count me in pls Mrs M for £200 for July. Should ace it if the hot weather lasts as I really dont feel like eating much at all.

Sunny that actually amused me a little as I don't think it is £1 for 2 pints of semi from Tescos anyway. My M&S charges 68p and have been getting it from there instead recently due to freshness issues with Tesco products.(they have been going off well within use buy dates especially milk) I really cant see it being that much more for 2 pints in Tesco if it is 68p a few doors down in Marks.

Reverbe - it's 2 litres, not pints - had just come to post the offer myself

I just filled half the fridge with it as we can clear two of those bottles a day easily

Hi All

Ok I totally blew last months budget- lost count after a visit to the local farm shop!!!

This month is tighter so I'm going to put down an acceptable £120 for July please, spent £30 already, but bought a lot of staples in that.

MrsM can you put me down for £320 this month please.

Hopefully I won't lose track of where I am, well that is the plan anyway..lol

I'd like to join again please. My bills have been going up and I must try and get them down again

Please put me down for £250 (including pet food)

thanks

Just totted up todays shop - £42.59.

Used the Tesco/Mail vouchers and various offers and saved £26.06, and along with a few odds and ends got a weeks worth of milk, fruit and veg, a month's worth of ice-creams (normally considered a treat, but in this weather a necessity, lol), and two month's of loo roll and kitchen towel.

Other than a bit of cheese and cooked meats for sandwiches (which Mr T didn't have in stock), that should be me for shopping until the weekend.

I was just going to say the same too! 2 pints would only just last a breakfast in this house :rotfl:

Hi
I started this month's spend last Friday and have already got through £61.11 :eek:. Had thought of popping into shop for cabbage for coleslaw tonight but have changed my mind. No coleslaw for tea but a NSD instead .

Good luck for the month everyone.

MrsM please put me down for £200 for July please. Only 4 weekends in July for us, so hopefully I will be able to stick to my budget.
