December 2012 Grocery Challenge!!!!! REALLLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

kezlou

Hi please could you me down for £300 from now till the end of December.

I was going to put the budget for less but just checked the cats supplies and they have drastically dwindled. Also have to buy flea stuff again, So another £18 for that, still better than £45+ from the vets!

In January i'm going to set us an annual budget of £2600 which works out about £50 a week. We've had a massive outlay the 8 months due to building work being done in the house. Yes shockingly my landlords been repairs. Well forced into it but at least its getting done, so going to go back the way we were and get back to debt busting.

Well i know i'll be spending today, have to buy more milk again.

thanks for the starting the new thread and monthly challenge

An early report but we had a Mr T order delivered today £66.82. It should have been a bit more but a fresh chicken was refunded as it was under weight

I could have done without it today in the end as my pay was mucked up big time but it was too late to cancel it by the time I got to work to find out. Hey ho

But, this shop saw us getting a few little sweet treats in for Christmas (savoury treats in the next shop) and a fair bit of store cupboard stuff and meat to see us through 2 weeks. The mince should last longer - I got a decent amount as it was on offer... The only things we "should" need over the next 2 weeks are fresh things like top ups of milk, bread and fruit. I hope

We have stuff in already of course to top up what we bought
