June 2010 Grocery Challenge

looie

My month end finishes tomorrow and I am going to declare at £128.32 as I will not be spending anything until next month now.

This has been my worst ever month since I started in January !! Never mind onwards and upwards as they say

Mrs M can you put me down for £100 for July please ?? Ta

catznine

Another £4.94 spent for June bringing total to around £135.

Please can you put me down for £150 for July? I wanted to cut it down more but need to make a small meat order! (Jimmys farm is just up the road and the meat is always lovely and delivered to the door) Now I just need to stay away from App Fds!

Afternoon

I bought a few indulgent bits yesterday - ham, pate, rolls and a few more basics today - marg, milk and jaffa cakes (essential!) and am now £7.33 over.
I'm trying for my last NSD tomorrow so might have to get a bit inventive - might even manage 2!

Am declaring at £475.99 - 99p over budget - I forgot to cancel my graze box at £1.49 - pants!! Ah well - could have been much worse! I have enough bread and milk for the next two days (and heaps of f&v) so will NOT need to go to the shops until Thursday!!!

Mrs Mc, can I please be put down for £450 for JUly? The school hols start 21st & 23rd, so it will be very difficult (I know my eldest two have some sleepovers planned) but we are having to tighten the purse strings for the next couple of months at least I am going to try and eat out of the freezer (and eke it out - but this weather demands meat rich bbqs ) and cupboards. I have to stock up on things like baked beans, cereals, cooked meats for sarnies (and possibly tinned toms!! ) I think myself, DS1 and DS3 will be eating some strange concotions to use stuff up and ensure things aren't wasted.... Good job we're not fussy!! (unlike Dh, DD and DS2)

Spent just under £64 at Tescos on Sunday making my total spends so far for July £88.71. Sorry, know its the wrong thread but I'll never keep track of my spends if I don't record it somewhere!

Just adding another £4.74 for fruit, etc from Ald! and £1 for some pre-wash powder in £Land. Totally over budget this month, but I did have to make a birthday cake, buy one and also made 36 cupcakes, plus my Dad was down for 3 days. Next month is my DS2's birthday, so that's another 2 cakes (1 for home 1 for party) plus cupcakes for school.
