September 2010 Grocery Challenge

Billie-jo

Last shop of the month for me todayin T*sco and it came to £38.59 and had a £10 off a £30 shop so total was £28.59 also spent £6.00 in the butchers it was £6.03 but he very kindly let me off the 3p ......

Can I declare SEPTEMBER SPENDS OF £134.47 Thats £25.53 left to go in the savings account. :j:j

Have also stuck to the meal plan this week although altered the days around.

I spent £100.63 out of £100 so 63 pence over.

This is what I want to say to September - "bog off. I am glad you are nearly done with. I have a lentil and carrot soup on the stove and you can't get any more money out of me".

And to October - "Roll on in- I am sure you are going to be lovely and undemanding!"

Sheepishly checking in at £385.78 / £300! Then again this was my first month and I totally guestimated how much I was spending before and I have definitely made savings. I haven't been checking in because I have also discovered the comps forum and have been spending loads of time entering comps over the past couple of weeks. I've already had some winnings though so quite impressed!
Anyway, I am upping my budget slightly next month but I want to push myself to bring down what I spend a lot more, so I will be going for £320 in October. A tough challenge but I want to make a serious impact on my spends!

Uh-oh, sorry to have to declare a massive overspend - £178.95 from a budget of £140 - eeeek!!! Mostly blamed on the half a local-reared lamb we bought for £50, plus a big AF order and too many whoopsies (who could possible resist a large elmwood chicken for £1?!)

Cupboards and freezer are full to bursting, so please put us down for £100 in October - will be a challenge but got to get back under control xx
