Hello everyone.

This is my first time trying the grocery challenge.

Can you put me down for £200?

Thanks

Hope I can spend less than this with all the advice on here!

Coxy, can you put me down for £185 again? I think this is the lowest I'm going to be able to go for now.

Won't be starting til Thursday when I get paid so fingers crossed I keep within April's budget

This covers the usual - food, toiletries & household stuff for me, OH and the cat, with eating out & alcohol coming from a separate budget.

£280 for me please. This seems a reasonable figure for the 4 of us including nappies, toiletries, cleaning products, as long as I'm careful

I have actually come in under budget for April woo!

I am going to set the May budget for £450. Have still got to plan the months menu (DH gets paid on Thursday) but unlike this month there is only one meal out and a lot less birthday celebrations lol.

Thank you for all who make this threat possible behind the scenes and those who give advice and keep me on the straight and narrow

Can I join again please? Going to go for £300 please. That's for 2 adults, dd1 is 5 and dd2 is 3. Includes all groceries, pull ups and cleaning stuff. My month starts on Fri 26th, payday! My previously veg n fruit phobic 3 year old has turned into a fruit monster so am taking full advantage of aldi super 6 stuff! Lol x

Hi can you put me down for £45 please. I did try £40 last month but i had so many coupons to use up i failed by £9.95. This month should be doable as i really dont need much. My freezers bursting as are my cupboards and im really trying to get it down to £45 but by eating healthily. Im tending to buy too much YS veg and having to throw some away. I would like to get it down to £40 per month but i really dont think that is doable. Has anyone here managed on £10 per week (just for one person).
