This year I'm going to start to keep within my budget!! And I've started January's GC off well with a NSD! :dance:

DH wants to know when we're going Christmas food shopping! I wonder if I can get away with doing it without him otherwise it will be horrific!! :eek: Might start writing out a list now, we do have most of the treats, don't need any sweets as got lots from the children in school today!

Hello everyone - that's the recipe index back up. Please let me know if I've made any mistakes

Zippychick - thanks for making those blank posts for me. Rosieben - thanks for all your hard work doing the index and for helping me get set up.

I'm still posting in December but will keep an eagle eye on both threads to make sure I don't miss any recipes

Please can you sign me up for £310
This will be from the 1st January for all food, drinks, OTC medicine,
prescriptions, toiletries, cleaning materials.

After our Christmas guests have gone home we need to do a complete inventry of all our stores and then plan on using them up. We are hoping to run down our freezer stores and we would like to turn the freezer in the utility room off with a view to getting rid of it, if we feel we can manage.

I would like to join in please.

I'm going to aim for £150
for the month from the 1/01/13 until the 31/01/13

I hope that we will not need all this . after Christmas will do complete list of everything we have in cupboards, freezers, fridge and meal plan from that. we normally spend around 100 a week so am aiming to cut this down.
