Hi everyone
Can I try again this month please? (Emphasis being on the word try). I failed dismally last month, not keeping track of grocery spending towards the end.
I don't think I was too much over target though, just didn't keep a record for the last 2 weeksHow does everyone else do it?
I'd like to go for £350 again this month please

Hello all,
Can I please go for £170? I was a member of the grocery challenge last year and had made lots of good savings, but haven't done it for a while.
The £170 is for two adults and two cats with expensive tastes
I have already made one spend and will pop in when I can find the receipt for it. This is to last me until October 21st - the day before payday.0 -
Morning All,
Thanks for the new thread ladies.
I failed miserably last month and am taking the pressure off this month by upping my challenge to £200 for October - hopefully it will be more acheivable, and I am hoping to start stocking up for Christmas too. I will try harder to post regularly, too.It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0
