I feel so smug when I do my shopping and it's under budget - like HAHAHAHAHA Tesc0 you can't trick me into buying a load of crap I don't want and you WILL deliver it to me for free this week

Yes it was the 2nd, but that means it could have been any time from Christmas to next week I suppose!

I'm aiming for....£15000 as my figure please it looks quite daunting seeing it in writing,
though I have made a start on it!

Ok, have added your total now. Good luck!

Forgot I actually mean to chip in on the online shopping - really interested to see this £10 thing - is that a monthly subscription to cover all deliveries? I don't order food online, but that sounds like something worth remembering for future.

Yep it's £10 a month for deliveries at any time of any day with a minimum order of £40 - I think they do an off peak one that's a bit less but you don't have as much choice with days then

Ah, that would be quite good if I regularly spent over £40! It's really rare I'll spend more than £20 on food, unless it's a big stock-up week.

Am I allowed to ask questions here when thinking about how to best economise?

My Q is, who online grocery shops? Does anyone do tescos block delivery charge? I'm wondering if this would be more economical and help with meal planning.

I wish I had a chest freezer for bulk buying meat and batch cooking!

Sorry if this post isn't right for the thread, not sure of the rules yet.

When I looked at the block delivery charge I realised that it worked out more expensive than booking the cheaper delivery times - having said that I work from home so can facilitate the £3.50 slots. It's like everything to do with the supermarkets make sure you don't trust what they're telling you and work it out for yourself. Another tip I was given was not to just import your 'favourites' into your basket week after week but to check the offers each time for the best savings. I have a big upright freezer and I do think it's worth it's weight in gold perhaps if you have the space you could try and save up for one out of your grocery budget?

Hi all,

Just popping on with our update as all our CC payments have now left the building!

We've paid £310/£3,072 #31
I make that a lovely 10.09% start to 2014.

Good to see so much progress on this thread so early on in the year. Long may it continue

A meager offering this week as January is going to be one expensive month. Seems the world and his wife has their birthday in January in our family!
