July 2007 Grocery Challenge

Doom_and_Gloom

Okay so I spent £37 something of my £40 budget!!! So I'm going to say I spent £38 and was £2 under budget as I can't remember exactly the pence hehe. I am amazed I did it although I have menu planned all my meals unlike before so I'm sticking to menu planning for sure. This reply to how I've been doing/done is late as I don't actually have the net at the flat I live at so don't get on the net much (does save me money though so that's good hehe).

Really pleases July target was £280 and have come in at £266- admittedly was at my parents with the 4DKs for a few days. Howevere have achieved this spending in the past and will aim for it next month althoguh we are away which is always more expensive and will need to come out of budget.

Thanks for encouragement

I went over my first target slightly but not too worried as it also included engagement party food and wine;) .
