Thank you to all who keep the grocery challenge going :-)

Yay! I'm back in 100% for this month! My GC month runs 25th June-24th July (get paid 25th July which also happens to be my birthday!)

I can't format my text on my tablet but please can I be put down for a budget of £100 this month - to cover pet treats (stocked up on a couple of months worth of pups food whilst it was on offer), all groceries (incl cleaning supplies, occasional take out and win for my birthday!) and toiletries .

Boyfriend is away 3 days every week this month and maybe a few extra days if he gets selected for the July tournaments so frequently it will just be me to feed - because of this I'm hoping to come in under budget, if we don't I will have gone wrong somewhere.

Tonight I will be making a plan for my lunches at work find them more filling when I put in time and interest to make them! Breakfasts are generally cereal or toast and evening meals...well I'm not too sure if its only me!

I will jump straight in to this thread and obviously be 'on challenge from the 25th' need 4nsds now to get through to then!!!

Hi guys.
I've not actively been joining in but have definitely kept within my £30 a week budget.
Could I be added again please?

Foraging season is here so that will help a little too

Hi, I wonder if I might join. Its nearly 2 years since I posted and I've fallen back into bad shopping habits recently. I'm 34 weeks pregnant with my second child (DD is 8) and have gestational diabetes meaning I'm eating a low carb, high protein diet which is proving expensive. I really need to get back into mealplanning and hope to make an inventory of my freezer and cupboards in the next few days. My july will be from 28th june - 25th july. It will include all groceries, cleaning items etc, cat litter and cat food but not petrol. I shall be aiming quite low (higher cost!) for this first month at £220 and see how I go. Thankyou.

Its exactly 2 years since joined this challenge and I think its the best thing I EVER DID have halved what I was spending and eating much better and more adventurously than I ever thought possible.

My challenge is as always to spend as little as poss on food.

Hello

Please count me in for the July grocery challenge, to run from June 28th to July 27th. Please can you amend my figure to £150.

This is a reduction from June, but needs must as money is very tight here at the moment. I have an internet shop lined up for the 28th June which will have meat, uht soya milk and basic baking ingredients for bread, cakes, biscuits etc. For the rest of July I will just need to do small weekly top ups for fresh produce.

I will be back here on the 28th.

Hi

I would like to join this month please as I think it's our grocery bill that takes up most of what we think is our disposable income.

I've no idea how much we spend really so can I go for a target of £250 for 2 adults and 1 child? This is from today until July 22nd. Next month I might then have a better idea of how much I'm spending.

Thanks xx
