December 2015 Grocery Challenge HO HO HO!!!!

DuranGirl

First NSD of the month! :TBeen to the cinema but I have an Unlimited card which I pay for monthly, and we sneaked in some "contraband" sweeties as I refuse to pay their wildly inflated prices. No online Christmas shopping today so I'm very pleased. Booked tickets for another couple of films as well, so I'm getting out and about but only having that one payment.

@Misty & @Dizzy, I'm so sorry to hear of the awful time you are going through. This year just seems to have been rotten for so many people I know! Here's hoping 2016 brings you both better times.

I dragged myself out for a shop today, despite having combined my cold (which I have had all week) with a slight hangover (from my best friend's birthday drinks which turned out to be much boozier than expected)! I spent £27 (on fruit, veg to make soup, milk, bread, biscuits, bacon and eggs), which leaves me reAlly well placed for the rest of the month. i'll only need a smallish shop next weekend, unless I spot some lucky bargains.

It feels like ages since I've popped my head in the door! Hello everyone :hello:

Aiming for my normal target of £220 as due to stressful family situation I'm not sure where I'll be over Christmas so just going to keep going and if it ends up being beans on toast at home on the 25th then that's fine. Hoping for sunnier days in 2016!!!

Sorry to hear about your flood Dizzy hope it all gets sorted.

Morning all
Did the main Christmas food shop over the weekend for non perishables. morrys very quiet so glad we did it early.
Will sort receipts and do my sig as I was shopping for dd1 and mil as well so it's not as bad as it first appeared especially as I was using £150 of stamps from two years ago.

Hello, bit late but have just got around to sorting Nov total so updating sig and confirming Dec budget of £250 please.

So far Dec spends are £190.11 as main shopping now done for the month, we will really only need fruit, veg & milk.

Right off to do some meal planning.

Thanks everyone.
