January 2007 Grocery Challenge

No they were food bargains, usable just I didn't actually need them and only bought them because I had money left. Hoping to reduce by £40 again next month I think, £10 a week is realistic.

Hi everyone

Have managed to get into day three of my February challenge without spending any money on groceries yet. Am soooo happy!

Good luck everyone!

Well I had a target of £200 but slightly overspent and came in at 216.55, but as that is a lot less than our normal monthly amount, I'm more than happy. So I'm going for £200 again - altho as Feb is a slightly shorter month I won't have any excuse if I go over again!

To be honest last week i defrosde a lot of meat for dinner, so that always helped. Also rather than making lunch in the morning, i just cook an extra portion so i can take it to work.
