Botany

Declaring at 238.18 for the month, which is £21.82 under budget.

I'm pretty chuffed!!!

Congratulations to all who set themselves the Grocery Challenge for August. :T Whether on target or not your spends will have been lower because you've been watching. Keep up the great work (and holding on to receipts/recording spends). :cool:

I'm declaring at £307.74 for August. Way over but the overspends are easily traceable and explainable so not a problem. Our first time over and I'm hoping it will be our last.

See you all over on the September thread,

Last spend of the month today, £1.35 for milk, so declaring at [FONT=&quot]£127.06.[/FONT]

Just done my final shop for August = £73.88, my total for the month is £366.99 which is below my target of £425. Yippee:j

Although I have realised that this is an average of £73.40 per week so my target for £70 per week in the September challenge may not be possible!!!:(, going to give it my best shot though - see you all on the September thread.

Evening all

Spent another £4.53 today on sausages, milk and chocolate biscuits so I'm declaring at £406.09/£400 for August.

I'll carry the £6.09 over to Sept but I'm quite pleased with that. Unfortunately I'm already nearly a quarter through my September budget so I think next month is going to be a bit bumpier!

Good luck everybody.

Hello All

Just declaring £149/£140 as my final spend for August - feel a bit cheesed off that the elusive £140 is beyond me for the last few months

But - i did manage 13 NSD's this month so its not all bad

Best Wishes all

Had one last Whoopsie Swoop for the month tonight - £7.80 spent on goods worth £19.18
Best individual bargain (bought to try as I've never had anything like them before) was a £2.99 pack of 8 Smoked Salmon Mini Terrines for just 39p

Declaring August as a £116.50 spend (£112.50 in shops and £4 from my pre 1st Jan stock pile) against my budget of £105 :eek:

Here's hoping I can finally manage to claw back some of my year-to-date overspend after DS moves out on 12th

looie

Hi all, I'm going to declare £78.72 for August.

Well under budget so really pleased with myself. I just hope it continues into September

My final total for August is £211.91 :j. This was helped in part by a little holiday and an absent DH

Mrs M ~ Next month will be £250 again, please!
