June 2011 Grocery Challenge

Elisheba

Hi,
My husband and I would like to start this. Could we go for £300 for July as a place to start and we can see where we go from there. This will exclude our holiday, but include everything else except social outings. The month will start fro us tomorrow.

Could you please put me down for €350 again for July? I am aiming to do better this month and keep to at least near that after this month:eek:


I worked out a plan yesterday though that sees me using only freezer and cupboards for main meals for the mid-week portion (mon-fri) of the next 3 weeks, so that will help. And I could do better than that if I really tried - so I must:o:A

Well, I'm gutted. I went for an interview today, that would have seen my pay double, but didn't get it. Not thier fault, really, I mucked up the interview, and didn't say everything I should have. I now have a mtg on Friday to talk about what I'm doing as of Sept. Hmm... May need to reign in those purse strings even further!

Declaring £403.30 for June, £2239.97 for the annual. I am going to try for £300 for July as it is a 4 week month for us, I think :cool:.

Thank you to all the ladies who run this great thread. It is wonderful even if I keep failing. Weekly shop tomorrow :rotfl:. I am sure to start racking it up as we have run most things down. Hey ho.

Good luck to everyone still working on June! Well done to everyone!
