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!0 -
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.DS age 10 💙 DD age 70 -
£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
2 adults and 3 children DD (14), DD (12) & DS (10) :smileyhea and 2 mental beagles.

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).0
