July 2014 Grocery Challenge

16.65 spend in tesco. Hubby declared this morning that he had completely run out of deodorant! Why he didn't tell me when he was running low or even that he was using the last one out f the stash box is beyond me. Anyway, had to go to get some today. Went into boots to eye up the prices and then went into tesco, where they were cheAper. £2.89 each but buy two get two free! So nearly six quid spent on deodorant. He uses quite a lot so it won't even last that long!!
Also bought some walkers crisps (20 for £2.49)some Barney bear cakes (2 x £1- great for lunch boxes!), 6 x Johnson's baby wipes (£4), sausage rolls (on offer plus had 30p voucher), aero bubbles (ok didn't need but on offer at £1 and had a 40p voucher). Also picked up some YS after eight mint mousses. Omg! They were lush! Like eating the centre of the mints and it had slithers of chocolate in. I think they should have been £1.50 for 4. Would definitely get again! A real treat! I paid 51p this time round!
This is why I try to not go to tesco- I get too tempted by the offers,!

Hello, is it too late to join in.

My budget last month was £250 and went slightly over by £15.
There is me, my husband and a very fussy eater who is nearly 3.
So far I spent £53.63 in a shop at Lidl on the 4.7.14 and only thing I have had to top up is milk, white sauce and sweet potatoes this week. So still got £40 in the pot for this week and wont have to draw any money out for this coming week.

Checking in for yesterday, £8.86 spent... included some bags of dog food, BOGOF on 3kg for £6.50, so 3kg food was only £3.25... small dog means this 6kg should last a while!

Going to be spending today also, as I am now back at work (have been on sick leave for 3 months) and need to get a menu and shop together... will update again later when this is done. sig updated for yesterday

Just popping in to log a spend of £4.90 in c00p last night. I always call in on the way back from dropping DS off at scouts as they usually reduce the bread then.... Just not last night!! Picked up some vienese biscuits (my weakness!), some reduced brie, a jar of sauce and a reduced mozzarella. Was the first spend of this week though so doing well with 4 NSD's :j, may just have to do a top up @sda shop next week sometime....

Off to add the spend to siggy
