February 2010 Grocery Challenge

Angelfeathers

Declaring February at £324.28, which is £324.28 over budget. It's a shame, because it was a short month and I was doing so well until a week or so ago, and then it suddenly went mad!

Ah well.

Declaring February at £418.42, which is £18.42 over budget. Well I have a better idea where the money is going now. So hopefully next month will be better.

I'm very pleased with myself, 2 years ago over £500 pm, last year down to average £300 pm this month £183.52:j:j:j

Keeping a spreadsheet of spends would seem to make a big difference, maybe its the thought have having to enter every single item (does take a while) but what ever the reason, I'm chuffed


MrsM, please update my yearly spend to £410

Thankyou everyone. This month I spent so little on food we paid dp's overdraft off and got rid of it and the bonus? I also kicked a terrifyingly expensive supermarket addiction. :T

Checking in at a total of £229.33 out of £230 target (£180 for groceries and takeaways + £50 for meals out, cafes etc.)! Technically that was about £163 in grocieries (it's in my sig can't remember the pence!) but we were over in the meals out - but then we were both travelling more than usual in Feb. However still getting better about cooking up food at home and finding creative ways to bring it out... and we're both amazed at how well we're eating on that money, between good HM food and some organic veg shopping.

Over to March....

It is with great regret that I am declaring at £341.30 mega mega amounts over -well £60 or £70 but I mean :eek::(:(:eek:
However, it just goes to show that holding onto the receipts (and debit cards!) and using a spreadsheet might be the better way to deal with this and.......
