June 2012 Grocery Challenge

Well I have till tomorrow till the end of my month and hope not to spend anything
I have spent a total of £345 (Under Budget) on food etc this month – I had gone over however I set myself up with a 2nd purse and used my receipts to work out how much spare stock I have this month with offers. So it has put me back on track – feel like I have cheated a little but mid way through the month I decided it was a good idea as I bulk purchase sausage from a local Man and go to the Indoor Market for my Chicken (Much cheaper than SM) as well as picking up good offers
I plan to reduce my spend this next month by just £5.00 per week, but I think small challenges is better than big
Thanks for the support

Hi everyone,
I can't declare this month as have lost all my spreadsheets and accounts for the past three years. Long story that I won't bore you with now. I still hold a little hope that the files may be retrieved but it's going to be a while before I know for certain.
So I would definitely have been under target but can't give a figure at the moment.
All the best,
