    Evening All :)

    i've not done the grocery challenge for a few months was doing it on my own though on my diary, but have fallen by the wayside a little :o so have come back here if you'll have me!

    . :beer:

    Same here, can you put me down for £300 please.

    My month runs until 24/9 and i have already spent £281.50:eek::eek:so this leaves me with just £18.50 for 24 days.....this may look terrible but i have made a meal plan and i have everything in that i need except extra milk/eggs and ham....so as long as i'm really careful then i should be ok.

    Did my first shop of the month today. Spent £38.24 at sainsbugs, should have been more but they sent me some unsuitable substitutions - asked for a bag of cadburys eclairs 64p(ish) and they sent me a box of lindt for £4 odd, erm no!
    So have £71.76 left in this months budget
    £387.39/£196.46
    Pay my debt by End of Feb 2022
    49.28% paid!

    £199.55/£500 savings by End of April 2022
    39.91% saved!

    Make £2022 in 2022 - £20
