January 2014 Grocery Challenge

Hiya all

Another person slinking back if you'll have me. Have got a freezer full and after yesterday's inventory only need milk bread and fresh fruit and veg until the 11th jan. Therefore could I please set my target at £200. This to last from the 1st to the 31st, I have also set myself an optimistic 20 nsd's.

Good luck to all

My week 1 budget is pretty much blown as we bought a couple of fillet steaks from the butcher for todays dinner!!

I need to get a proper cupboard and freezer inventory done today and then plan my food accordingly. Next weeks spend will be well under the £30 budget I am determined!

Happy new year everyone. I hope you all have a fab day and all the best for 2014.

Hoping to come in way under budget as I've finally checked the bank accounts for the first time since before Christmas and we have over spent by a huge amount. Quite worried this month which I hadn't been in a long time. Off to browse for scrimping inspiration.

hi there and a happy new year to you all, can I join, please put me down for £200, should be do-able for 2 of us, though past experience has shown this is not always the case, yikes!


will be including all food and household stuff as well as any sneaky meals I buy for myself for lunch when I am feeling too lazy to make a sandwich


good luck everyone

Hoping this month should be fairly easy as, like many I have lots in the freezer
Trying to work my way through the store cupboard though. Found a fray bentos pie at the back whilst sorting so may have that this week.
Lots of small amounts of different pastas will be used up for pasta salad or 'spaghetti' bolognese.
Good luck to everyone!
