November 2012 Grocery Challenge

Bunny112

Hi All

Sorry I'm well overdue, my Dec started last Friday but I thought I'd better round off over here before heading over there to declare my budget. I'm very happy to stay we managed to squeak in under budget this month! spent £32 last weekend and we had £35.71 remaining, so overall £196.29/£200 for the month :j. I'm very please as this was our first proper month of keeping track, but worried that with the extra help from the Tesco vouchers in November it will be a fluke and December might not be so easy!! Going to try very hard - so I'll see you all in the December thread!:beer:

Hey everyone! No extra spends as it's OH's week still and he hasn't bought anything anyway except some cough syrup.

I might moan about his less than frugal ways at times but I have to say he really is the biggest sweetheart in the entire world - I've had a cold for the last couple of days and today when I got home from work, he spoon fed me some cough syrup he'd bought (bless him, he knows I'd never bother going to the pharmacy for that kind of thing for myself) and had run me a bath with music playing and candles .

Plus he'd tidied the whole flat, done a load of laundry and is currently making dinner while I lounge on the sofa with the cat and the laptop in my pyjamas

Im going to follow this thread even though there are a couple of days left, could I be included in the December Grocery Challenge please, I planned meals for November which on the whole has gone to plan, but really want to cut down our food shop. Has anyone bought the pork loin chops, gammon steaks and bacon from Farmfoods? Hubby wants to buy these at the end of this week.

My month doesn't end until friday but I would like to declare my total as £500 from a budget of £450. Don't overly happy but it's ok because I took the extra £50 from my petrol budget and we have stocked up a good bit for Xmas..... The total of £500 includes £3 that I can spend on bread/milk if I need to before Sat...

Morning all! Hope all are well!

Today's the day I'm gonna learn to crochet! Whoop :j

Can't wait to get my things later.

I have bacon and cheese in the fridge so I reckon frittatas for tea so a no spend day (grocery wise).

My crochet yarn and hook will be using my love2shop card which is loaded with my topcashback credit so technically a no spend

Have a frugaltastic day, peeps.

I spent the total of £66/£200 in month of November but it was an extremely frugal one. We did have good stocks of tins though.This means I should have a bit extra for December. If only it worked like that.
My aim for December is £350 four five adults.
