Quite enjoying meal planning and writing a list each week.

Help help help....... I am a grocery shopping addict :eek:

So this was going to be the month I get on top of the grocery spending........ £400 was the budget

My "month" started last Friday on payday 1st shop was in a@da £129
Mid week visit to m@s £16 and just done an online shop at sbugs for £102 oh and stopped in at coop on way home tonight £18 !!!!!!!! So just out of the first week of the month and I'm over £260 :eek::eek::eek:

Hells bells we are a house of 2 adults and 2 children under the age of 8

So to stay in budget I have £140 to last to end of month - I know lots of good folks on these boards can work miracles with that amount of cash but I am taking baby step at the mo ( previous monthly spends have been over £600)- downloaded a great free app where you "stocktake" cupboards and freezers etc and it suggests meal for you. .........just need to do the stocktake:cool:
