September 2011 Grocery Challenge

I'm declaring too as my month runs between paydays and won't need to go to the shops before Weds when I get paid. Just under budget at £195.24....... October will be a higher budget at £300 as store cupboards need restocking. My squirrel tendancies cut in at around this time of year and I like a bigger stock in case of bad weather,illness etc

Many thanks to all who keep the thread up and running

Hopefully last update for September, spent £16.18 in A!di and £1.07 in Te$co bringing my total for the month to £245.15 / £250 :j

I think in October I'm going to explore the recipes on the GC thread and try out some new ones. I also need to sort out one of the freezers and get it defrosted, then can move everything around and defrost the other one too.

cheers

Hi all

Just popping in to declare my September total as £223.58. Only £3.58 over budget, not too bad.

Can I have £220.00 for October please.

I'm quite pleased with how I've done.

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Stuck to my NSD yesterday and I do not need anything today.
Have meal planned up until Friday, so I should not need to go near any shops until then, unless my lot guzzle all the milk.

Blooming heck, where has the time gone? I have two NSD's to declare... one for yesterday and one for today

Busied myself all day yesterday, so wasn't online much... also didn't leave the house all day, had a nice pork roast dinner with some homemade cake & custard for dessert... lush.

Today is a quick tuna pasta, as I am shattered from work.
