Will update totals when I have done this and post again tomorrow after done other bits of shopping in town. Donating small freezer to dumpit site tomorrow as it has given up the ghost, so putting ad on freecycle for replacement. It sits in the front room as cellar too cold for it and tv sits on top!!!

Thanks for the shiny new thread MrsM, Pink and Rosieben.

NSD for me on day one yesterday and hoping for another one today (sending OH to be the taxi to take DD1 home from work:D)

OH's current job finished today and doesn't have another yet so he'll be signing on on Monday. So will need to go very careful this month, though I am going to costco tomorrow (weather permitting) so I am going to have to make sure that everything I buy is really useful (such as - I need a case of huge tins of tomatoes for batch cooking chilli and bolog.) We are going to Leeds for other reasons so it is a good opportunity to get stocked up. I can't justify the trip for shopping alone. I will probably get some bacon but will have to think carefully about what else to get.

Good luck with February everyone.

I want to try and keep our grocery spending down to £160 next month. That's for two adults in our house. Might sound like a lot but we do like to eat well

Can you put me down for £210 for Feb please Mrs Mc? That's £20 less than last month but I need to re-stock the freezer, so hope that I can do it.
Thankyou x

Hi everyone :hello:

Thanks for starting the thread Pink! Cheers Mrs M for keeping us all on track!

Today begins February's challenge as it's DH's payday! Went to M&S for one of their 'Dine in for £10' deals. Chose the largest chicken I could find so I can make it last a couple of days! Saved just over £8 in total. Also, Superdrug were doing an offer on my vitamins, so stocked up on those too - £9.98.

ragz - hope baby makes her appearance soon, I'm on tenterhooks here!!

Best of luck to everyone this month and welcome all the new challengers!

Have a good evening!

Good evening all, So I have added up how much I over spent in January and it was £85.00:eek::( This month due to serious overspending and the need to start paying my debts asap I have slashed the food budget in half, could you please put me down for:

£150.00 I am going to draw the cash out tommorow and just try and have as many NSD's a posssible, I am also going to do a store cupboard challange as I have ooodles in stock, such as 3 legs of lamb, 2 chickens etc, so apart from essentials like frozen veg when I run out and bread flour we should be good:)

Good luck with Februarys challange everyone - thank God it's a short month:T

MrsMC lovely to see you back, you were missed, although Helen deserves a big 'Thank you' for her wonderful work of keeping the GC running in your absence.

Can you put me down for €150 again this month please, will have visitors for a week but freezer still quite full, trouble is half of the stuff in there isn't labelled so not sure how we will get on.

Not declared for January yet as I'm sure that the small amount I have left will need to be spent.

Good luck to all

Marie
