April 2007 Grocery Challenge

So do you think greengrocers are more expensive than say Tesco? I didn't buy any fruit/veg from Mr T this week as I like to support our local greengrocer but I spent £15 and will probably need to buy more. Mind you having said that our diet is virtually veggie now since DD became totally veggie (we've sort of trailed along in her footsteps although I can't quite give up fish). Funny thing is OH hasn't really complained (yet) - I just make sure there's always bacon and a pack of sausages in the fridge in case he does!!

mary i find my veg shop much cheaper but there is a posh veg store near by with high prices

Spent another £5.82 before the end of my month. That means I was left with £1.89. So just scraped through that month. Will definetly be doing this for May as it's my birthday on the 21st and I'm going to Poland with my college in June after my exams :j .

Sorry i know this is a late update however i calculated that i have overspent by about £15 this month. not dissapointed though as this was my first ever grocery challenge and reckon i have saved at least £100 compared with what i would normally have spent

Old macdonald we are also 2 adults 5 children and a dog! how ever do you do it! Even just bread milk fruit and veg and dog food would come to more than that a month. I could probably scape by on £200. I cook everything from scratch and we eat really well and healthily but could never manage to spend that little in once month - £30 something !!! Please help me to do it. Best wishes
