March 2012 Grocery Challenge

Spiggle

Actually found a bit of time, there must be something I've forgotten!

So final figure for the month is in the sig and we came under by just under a tenner.

I'll see you all in a week or so probably over on the April thread.

Take care all,

So final figure for March now updated in sig and have come in £15.70 under. Across the first 3 months of 2012 I am only £1.66 overspent, and that was all in January, so making it up, slowly but surely. As my stocks are pretty depleted and we are away while DS stays home I will stick with the same target for April.

Well done everyone; success or failures - being aware of what we are spending and on what are the first stages of raising our consciousness in order to reduce it

Hi

Just declaring a miserable £520.95.

Back to the drawing board I think...

Hope everybody had a good month and see you in April where I will today be attempting to do a very frugal plan for the whole month!

Hooray kept within our budget of £620. Total spend £603.57
so another little bit to the xmas fund. This included major treat for the house £160 on new pans But thinking xmas fund needs a bit of a helping hand so going for SisterCas idea this month and putting £1 a day in from GC as month goes on.

Going for £600 April. We've got quite a bit of entertaining and DD1, DD2 and DD2's BF will be dropping in over the holiday.

Declaring at £954.46/ £3800 for the year so far. Bang on target but had hoped to have a little spare left. Never mind over onto the April thread now. See you over there!

Hi everyone

Declaring £227 against a budget of £252 so saved my self £25.00. Obviously changing from a big monthly shop to smaller weekly shops agree with me a bit more. Hope everyone's well, over to April now.
