Hi Guys!!
Well although I haven't been on here much to report my progress, I have stuck at it for this first month of my Grocery Challenge, and done ok I think! My budget was £80 and that was for just me.
Wk1 - £20.02
Wk2 - £8.59
Wk3 - £14.98
Wk4 - £33.01
TOTAL £76.60
Quite happy with that, as week four included some Baileys that I almost didn't count, and that will last me a while yet. Gonna cut my budget for December as I think I can do better, and I'll be at my parents for a fair chunk of it.
NST September: SFD 17/20, food £62.87/£60, travel £61.55/£40, Outings £39.80/£100, Allotment £7.17/£30 Other: £42.32, Meditation ?/30.
