September 2014 Grocery Challenge

First day of the month for me and would normally go for reduced fruit and veg but the weather is foul so decided I am not desperate enough for anything to go and get a drenching.


Had a root through cupboards and freezer and have enough tinned and frozen to last me so am going to try and not shop till next weekend, unless theres a good voucher on Thursday of course:rotfl:

Morning, my target again for September is £200, cant seem to get any lower than this per month no matter how hard I try, so I will stick to this amount. We are having a short break by the sea later in September and going abroad in October so hoping this does not throw my budget out, Im going to utilise my SC a bit more this month for some bulk cooking to make my budget go a bit further. Payday on Friday, happy budgeting.

Going to give this a go as I try to shop around for the bargains, but then end up buying more than we need. We have an enormous allotment so things might be a bit skewed this month and next as I won't need to buy much in the way of veg. We= me and OH plus 2 large dogs and two teenage grandchildren every other weekend.
Will start on Monday 1st September - looking forward to it! :T

Food plan going well this week. Tomorrow I have been invited to my sisters for dinner so the meal planned fir then will be moved to Thursday.

Nothing spent on food since I did my food shop at the weekend. One of the main things I want to curb is my habit of walking down to the local orner shop in the evening to buy crisps and chocolate. This alone will save me lots.

I start on monday so i'm going to spend this week doing a meal plan, working out exactly what i've got & what I need to buy for my meal plan.

Count me in for September! I'm really encouraged by these grocery challenge threads.

£40 a week for the two of us, to include household items like washing up liquid and loo roll. (That's about £160 for the month)

Bring it on!!

Well plan was not to spend till the weekend but a local meat warehouse is offering 20 breaded turkey steaks for only £2 think that's too good to miss so will go and have a look.
