April 2010 Grocery Challenge

Sunny_Donny

Hi All

£150 for April Mrs M please.
Have done the big shop at Mr T, Netty's, just the honey from Mr S on Friday to get then £45 left for the rest of the month for milk, bread and F & V. (but have lots of bread in the freezer and milk reduced in the supermarket.) Hopefully should therefore be under on 27th April, but I'll still keep my fingers crossed OH has 4 x boxes of 10 Guinness cans in the fridge in the garage which will keep him going for weeks (only has 2 per week on a Friday evening)!!

Cor - it's not often I get on the first page

It's a five week month for me, so a budget of £350.

The freezers are well stocked, so I don't need to buy for main meals until week three with a bit of luck, but a lot of irregular buys, like tomato sauce, honey and marmite, are running out, the fruit bowls are currently occupied by 2 lonely black bananas, and it's the school holidays, when all these things get used faster anyway.

I've placed my first Approved Food order, so expect that sometime next week, and am just about to sit down and sort out my Asda order, and hopefully they'll take care of all that.

Thank you for the new thread again. :T

April is a 5 week month for me too, and we also have my stepchildren here twice this month.
So quite a big budget of £380 for April for me please.

However am secretly hoping it will be under that seeing as I have overspent in my first two GCs. Would be nice to bring overall annual spend back in line. We'll see.

Good luck everyone

Shiny new thread. Thanks to the usual suspects.

No spend so far today but have to pop to MrS local in a few minutes as we have run out of loo roll (how did that happen!!!)

Will try to spend as little as pos.

Hello everyone and thanks for sorting it all. I am a lurker who has decided to go for it this month! £300 for two adults and three children, although I am cheating slightly as the first week my oldest two will be on holiday with their dad, so only myself and toddler to feed (baby doesnt count as only 8 weeks old).

Good luck everyone!
