    Hello :)

    My last grocery challenge on here was in May 2012 as my circumstances changed and it was too hard to keep track of much really! I'm now single again and would really like to get back in to it (and meal planning).

    My first attempt will be higher than my previous amounts as i've recently moved house so need to do a proper shop and I also now have a cat :)
    Could you please put me down for £100. I will try and run this from now until the end of November.


    Thank you :)
    Grocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100

    Could I join please?

    Similar to Freaky, I'm now single, and need to get back on track ready for a better 2015.

    I do have a well (over) stocked house, and a full freezer, so will be trying for around 20 no-spend days (aiming for working days).

    I'm also looking to drop about 4 stone, and am hoping to achieve both of these goals via a combination budget and meal plan - as I'm starting a DMP this month as well - not that I'm trying to do everything at once.

    so... planned budget for this month... £80.

    To include households, cat fud, people fud, milk club (50p/week) and egg man(£1.10/wk) at work.

    Reward for success will be new running shoes. :j
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    House Bought July 2020 - 19 years 0 months remaining on term
    Next Step: Bathroom renovation booked for January 2021
    Goal: Keep the bigger picture in mind...

    Welcome and good luck.

    Think it's a great idea to reward yourself when you're successful.
