    Declaring £422.41 for December.

    Thanks
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Hi All :wave:
    Just popping in to declare for Dec & then will scoot over to Jan thread. Hope you all had a good christmas and new year!

    Here goes -
    A**i £32.10
    A**a £32.51
    C**p £1.60
    A**a £19.24
    A**i £40.52
    A**a £36.81

    So, added to my running total of £38.94... I make the monthly total = £201.72 I'm pretty sure I remembered to save all receipts, but as this is my 1st month doing the challenge I may have under 'guesstimated' my total monthly grocery spend.

    Anyway, will declare at £201.72 for Dec (sig updated) and must remember to post more often to keep up to date with thread and my spending!

    See you all on the Jan thread :D

    Not been on for ages as Family been staying from Scotland but I've been keeping a close eye on spends £395.47 for December. Really pleased with that and managed to still put a bit of Turkey and Gammon into the Freezer for January - caught up with all Posts so I'll see you all on the January thread. Good luck everyone.;)

  • Declaring at £5,200 for 2010 out of a budget of £6000. Adding up the totals it came to £4976 but I think Ive lost some receipts in December so Ive added £200 on top as I don't want to "kid myself"!
    :):):):):)

    well pleased it is well under budget so trimming it for 2011 is the right thing to do!
    Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults

    Slightly over for December - £50.34 instead of £50, but not too bad I guess! Will now update my sig for the New Year.

    Happy 2011 everyone by the way!
    Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!
