June 2007 Grocery Challenge

I'll try the challenge this month

My budget is a guess this month, so for 2 adults and 3 children (6 and under) but I'm hopeful I can stick to it <:0)

Good luck everyone!

Anyone know where I can find the little emoticons? I should know, but somehow I don't! Btw, it is a total accident that I got the smiley face one!

Hi LittleMissHappy,

Have a look in Sra's Unofficial A-Z under Smilies and you'll find a step by step guide to posting the emotions.

count me in please, 1st time in a few months thats i know money wise whats comeing into the house as its fineally all sorted and settled
i am aiming for a total food spend of 160.00 for the month (used alot from freezer etc last month which was why i spent so little)

that budget is for me , a 3 year old 22 month old and the baby, aiming low as i have 2 birthdays comeing up also finding shopping on the bus has helped as i can only carry so much as is shopping when Joels at playschool. mine starts on 2nd june and finish's 1st july

have had a good luck through my cupboards etc and will write down contents of my freezer and pin to my board crossing off what i use in the hope i can have another month like may and only buy what really needs to be bought.

dont need any cleaning materials or toiltries this month as i still have a glut of them from buy1 gets 1 frees etc

goodluck to you all

Hi guys

not done this for a couple of months - and it shows.

So, back on the wagon for me. Room for a little 'un?

Can I post £250 for four of us. We started last friday (DH's pay day).

So far DH has spent £17.

Well done Oops a daisy, on giving up smoking :T

I'm in the challenge again for June with a £60 target. This will include buying fruit and sugar for jam. I should be able to come in on or under budget as I'm using up some of the huge amount of stuff I have in the cupboards and in the freezer.

good luck everybody! Here's wishing us all some good bargains!! :rotfl:

Okay after my May success I'm raring to go for June, my budget starts today but I don't actually need to get anything except potatoes and fruit for a few days, used the last of last months budget to stock up on tins, toothpaste etc from Mr T to take advantage of his £7.00 off when you spend £50 offer, DH wanted some pooter stuff and clothes so we lumped everything together. Need to finish my meal plan for the month, not felt so good the past few days so it's only part done, but at least the first few days are sorted

Still have loads of stuff in the freezer and cupboards so I'm confident that I can do well again this month. I have my eyes on a lovely tefal frying pan, my current one is supposed to be non-stick but isn't and everything sticks to it! DH has agreed that the whole £300 is mine to do with what I will, so aiming to put some by for the holiday and get some more kitchen bits and bobs this month. Good luck to everyone that's taking part this month

Goals for this month are to locate a good local butcher, find a local farm shop that does good veg, eggs etc. Aiming to beat the supermarket for price and quality. Plus I'd like to try at least two new things we've not eaten before.

Thanks Pink-winged :T :T :T I think it worked :rotfl:

Count me in again :beer: I really enjoyed the challenge last month and have been very organised with meals/menus/shopping list etc. The fridge/freezer and cupboards are bare now as we've used everything up so it will probably be more difficult this month to stick to the same budget but not impossible I hope.

I'm setting a budget for £250 :j

Ive lapsed at the challenge over the past few months, but I'm definitely going to give it a go this month.

I'm aiming for £320 this month, to feed two adults, 5 children, one dog, one cat and 8 fish
