August 2014 Grocery Challenge

2nd NSD today spends still at £115/59/£160.00p

Another £2.49 spent on a top-up shop yesterday. Loo rolls, milk and a bunch of spring onions, so no unnecessary impulse buys.

Fridge is looking very bare now but at least I shouldn't have to throw anything out. The market near work's on on Friday so I'll try to hold out until then, at least for fresh fruit and veg.

£30.68/£90

Make-it-3

Jealous of you all getting your free F&V, but agree £5 probably doesn't go far if you buy berries and the like.

It's very quiet on here, holiday season I guess. My spends over the last week have amounted to £35.90 (I have removed £6 from one spend as it was for DD's polo shirts and they are in another budget).

I have £97.27/£180 in my pot for remainder of month which isn't bad as we're almost mid-month.

Another NSD today!
Thanks for the info on the super six. We seem to get through a cucumber in a couple of days so I might even buy two!
Carrots, broccoli and cabbage are always good too!

Good morning, doing quite well with my budget this month, mainly due to the Morrisons meat and veg vouchers, will be getting a few more Suns tomorrow to fill two freezer shelves that I have managed to clear in readiness. Will alter my siggy after morribobs meaty shops.

Is there definitely a voucher in the Sun today? I thought the meat one was likely to be next Thursday.

I haven't done this challenge in a long time so think I need to sign up again. As we're almost halfway through the month, I will just go with this month and join in properly on the September challenge.

Am just about to go back to work after 10 months of maternity leave and my food shopping/cooking has become ridiculous really. Too many lazy teas from pre-bought freezer stuff. I guess having your first baby is a bit of an eye-opener!!

Anyway, I'm 17 weeks pregnant with no2 now so want to get back on top of food shopping before I go back on maternity leave again.

Budget for this month was £300 and I've already spent £198 on a huge stock up, so hopefully just fresh bits to pick up for the last 2.5 weeks before payday. Hoping to spend nowhere near the £100 I have left.

I haven't done this for ages either! I need to get back on it! My partner and I are doing a budget of £40 a week as a trial to include all groceries (except wine!) and household cleaning products.

Good luck!
