    Our June grocery challenge starts on Saturday here; we are looking at moving house in the next few months now which means selling my lovely American style fridge freezer as it won't fit any where in the new house! So I need to start making sure we are running the freezer contents down.


    That in mind please can I be put down for £100
    During our June Grocery Challenge month we are away for 5 days at our caravan, and bf is away 15th-21st. The caravan trip is our holiday but will be catered out of my budget as we try to cook on an evening rather than order in (not many places to eat out if it's not fish and chips).


    I'm trying to use up as much stuff from the kitchen/cupboards as possible as that way I can have a fresh start at the new house. Some stuff I don't mind keeping (rice/pasta/sachets etc) but stuff like flour and fresh things I will try and get cleared up.


    June will be a challenge but I could do with reigning in a bit anyway

    for the month of June please count me in for £325 (including cat food, toiletries, cleaning products, holiday skin care for July and food / drink).

    We're going to introduce some new (made from scratch) meals this month to encourage littlest girl to eat more. Since DH started cooking for her, she's eating more and more junk than I'm happy with!

    Hello!
    I'll be in for June with £100 again. I'm still in May atm, and £58.59 through my budget, and managed £91.60 in April. I work on £1pppd, although the children are at their dad's some of the time. Too much like hard work to think about that though!

    I'm heading back to May now, but I'll 'see' you all soon!

    Hi all

    please find Junes grocery list. Thanks to Kezlou for volunteering and a big thank you to Solstice for her continued hard work - and Coxy of course!!!! you all help this run smoothly

    Please bear with us while we get the food indices all up to date . the recipes are all still on Mays thread.

    Sorry the financials post is slightly out of order due to many things that are easier not to explain...

    Good luck folks
