Budget was £130 but that was a guess. Not doing the whole December as I'll be home from uni in a couple of weeks and I don't actually need any groceries until January but I'll be back then!

Feeling confident I can do it!!!!!
Also, my sister has kindly given me a slow cooker (she's upgraded to a larger one) so looking forwards to experimenting and searching on here for recipies, pork chops in as I type!!!
I'm going out for dinner tonight. Supposed I'd better count that into my total. Will probably equate to a week's supermarket spend! Never mind - It'll be a nice treat.

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.
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.
