July 2015 Grocery Challenge

cw18

I've just been checking the various supermarket sites to see what minimum order requirements are, and it appears they all want a minimum of £40 once Mr T changes - with the exception of Mr A. So how long do we think it'll be before they increase theirs as well?

OH reckons they'd be daft to for a good while unless they really have to, as people who currently use Mr T may well change allegiance - and I have to say I agree with him.......

Good morning everyone!

Just reconciled bank accounts and all receipts. Two weeks down and we're down to £238 out of the £450 budget. Three more weeks to go before the end of July and if we could spent less than £80 a week for the next three weeks we'll be fine.

We are quite well stocked at the minute so there will be NO NEED (fingers crossed) to go shopping this weekend.

Here's wishing you a nice sunshiny weekend.

There are some impressively low spends so far, well done everyone!

I've spent £17.10 on food today, so my totals so far are £89.41/£400 and 3/15 NSD.

Evening all :hello:


Managed another NSD here today. Need to go shopping the morrow as running a bit low on some things and now out of fresh fruit as my pineapple went all funny in the fridge :huh:


We had the second half of a HM Shepherd Spy (freezer) with steamed veggies for dinner today.


Hope you all have a super Saturday

£27.29 spent today taking me to pennies away from £50 of a £70 budget. I can do this! Only 9 days to the new budget and I'm pretty stocked up on what I need for at least the coming week.

Mr T order arrived £25. My next to last £25 order, will have to increase to £40 which will be no problem. I can always spend!

One thing is for sure, living where I do, I am for sure not going back to spending a day a week travelling to sm to buy boring groceries.

Have updated my signature and am feeling quietly confident that I will be well under budget this month. I am pretty sure most of this is because I can not be bothered to cook and am feeding everyone on lots of bacon sandwiches, toast, pasta slime, and boring stuff repetitively.
Just cba continuously. Am so done with catering!

Have fun all

NSD today

I had a good dig around the freezer this morning, as I couldn't be bothered to go out to the shops, had the makings for a fish pie for dinner.

Will have to pick up some veg tomorrow, but will try and stick to under a fiver.

I went a bit mad last month and spent waaayyyyyy over what I allow myself for 'mad money', so am trying to recoup some of that back this month, I hate that when my 'want it, need it' head takes over - the reality is that I NEED nothing, I just want it.

I'll stop burbling on now.....
