August 2010 Grocery Challenge

angelatgraceland

Declaring August grocery spends of £357.26 for all food/cleaning/petrol/clothes for 5 adults £357.25/£500 so my underspend will help to cover the last few overspends! Total for year so far is £4259.68 leaving a remainder of 1740.32 for the next 4 months averaging 435.08 per month if I wish to stay within budget. Very happy with August spending-my best this year!

So we ended August with £10.04 left of our budget. That means we spent £104.96/£115 :T. I am very pleased with that. Will see you over in September once I work out our budget.

Hello, I’m creeping in here quietly hoping that everyone else is already on the September thread. I’ve finally added up the receipts and have to report August as a dismal failure at a whopping £309.70 which is £69.70 over budget :eek:. Admittedly £40 of that was a birthday meal for me that DH insisted on (although he didn’t pay…:mad:) but I can’t account for it in any other budget. The rest is down to DH going away so I treated myself to a bottle of wine and the children and I ate what we wanted rather than leftovers. At the time it was subconscious, but no excuse and so very frustrating to think that I could have been well under with a bit of effort .

Here’s to more willpower in September!

Well happy to report total for August £270.51

Not too impressive because we were away for a week but I'm counting it as a success anyway!

Roll on September(perhaps;))

Small spend for me today on a bag of salad and the new Good Food. The magazine is a luxury, I know, but I figure if it's helping me to cook seasonally and from scratch then it's a good thing to have

Congratulations to Doom_and_Gloom for coming in under budget. Have fun in September!

Declaring at £449.55 for August. Just 45p under and 22NSD - though we were away for a week so it's not that great! Still as Meanmarie says it's in the right direction! See you over in the September challenge!
