Belatedly declaring for Feb, and it's not a total I'm proud of: £133.75 and 10 NSDs - £33.75 over target and 5 days under target respectively.

Still, it could've been worse and I'm pretty clear on what caused the overspend [the not-enough-NSDs was basically lack of organisation and self-control].

Thanks to all who participate in the threads. :T

Onward, and here's to doing better...

Time to unstick this one. I hope everyone had a good month.

The new monthly challenge is a sticky: Grocery Challenge - March 2012

Just declaring £207, before i move over to the new thread. I am on yearly so i have spent nearly a third of my yearly total, yikes, but have got so much supplies, i hope it pans out. Going to update signature

Well I am declaring £320 for FEB's GC, bit cross that I took my eye off the ball:mad:

But onwards and upwards, lessons learnt, and in full agreement that a big shop at the start of the month is a killer!!!

So small shop of £28 odd to start March off, will pop over there after this post

Will be aiming for £220 for March, keeping everything crossed:D

Well done to everyone on or near budget, and lots of encouragement to those who didn't make it, we CAN do it:T
See you all on the March GC:beer:

Afternoon all.

Quite a spendy week last week, have done a little update but need to check the receipts as I think I have some missing. Once again we have overspent as we still have 2 weeks to go.

I think next month I may cut the grocery budget down but then have a seperate one for eating out as this is possibly where we the problem is and why we are always over.

Best I go now and not keep waffling too much.

Thanks
