Good morning everyone,
thanks to everyone who works so hard to set up and maintain this thread.
Brother has started planting in his allotment so hopefully I will be given lovely organic veg all through the summer. Last year he was very generous.
I have promised myself that I will have a good browse through all the recipes on the front page for inspiration. I could do with introducing a couple of new meals into my menu plan.
Good luck to everyone in May.It takes a long time to eat an elephant and I'm doing it a bite at a time!!!0 -

Have done my monthly meal plan and online order - was £102 but had a £10 voucher, its actually being delivered today to make use of free delivery but is from May budget.
Also inc were some big special meals as my parents were visiting but as I am now going to them instead we should have a bit extra in the freezer to roll forward for next month.
Need some bits from the butcher, fruit and veg and milk as we go along. Am going to try and make all my own bread this month so will see how that goes - even if I manage to wean hubby down to 1 loaf of warbies (£1.20 a go!!) a week I'll be happyPeople seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Hello I'd like to join for May please. I'll aim for £150 although I really need to get it lower than this. OH has just been made redundant (again!) so we're living off our wedding savings (goodbye wedding plans

Good Morning
I haven't participated in the Grocery Challenge for over a year but last month's spending was totally over-board. I really need to rein things in. If it's ok for me to join in I would like to set a target of £300 for two of us. My aim is to have an achievable target to start off with and chip away month by month.
Many Thanks

The branch of MrT I used yesterday, has put its purple 3L milk up to £1:25 :mad: I'm not sure what price it is in my usual branch, as I've noticed before that they can charge different prices although less than 10 miles apart & being of similar size
Would expect it from an express or summat..
