Not so good! I spent about £235 this month (exact amount to be disclosed as soon as I find a receipt from Morrisons gone awol). Next month I'm giving Aldi a try.

Really pleased this month, have drawn 20.00 a week, have a lot of stuff in freezer and cupboards and managed to get a few bits for Christmas and put 10.00 on Iceland card.

Not so good is the fact that I think my freezer may be on the blink. So
my plan for October is to run the freezer right down.

Hello,

Sorry to have been MIA but my fibromyalgia has reared its ugly head again.

Spent a further £23.41 on Sunday so I have gone over in September by £47.83 with a total spend of £115.84.

Sorry to hear about your freezer Meg72. I too, will be using up freezer stock in October as both small freezers need defrosting.

I'll see you all over on the October thread, and I will try and post far more often.

Oh dear, i spent £328.11 in total. Not too much of an over spend but i do need to do better next month. I have set my target to £340 for October on the other thread in the hope that i won't go over. It will make me feel a bit better that way.

Hi everyone,

This is the last time I'm going to check this thread. If you would like to join the October Grocery Challenge and want your monthly target to appear on the list, please post in the October thread.
