January 2016 Grocery Challenge

CherryPie

Can I please be put down for £120 for January. Running from 1st - 31st.

Hopefully this is a generous estimate, not done GC for a while and the cupboards are quite healthy looking.

Thanks

**Can't seem to get the figure to go bold & red? Something to do with installing windows 10 maybe?

Hi everyone, I need to rein the money in as I'm still getting used to a drop in income (pensioner now) I seem to be spending more than I have coming in but it's fine as I had quite a bit in my accounts, but I really want to save for a holiday in the summer so need to start watching the pennies and stop spending!!! So I aim for £20 a week as there is only me and I'll see how I go on. I will start January 1st and try to make the £80 last until the end so it works out at less than £20!!!!!! eek ....

Hi can I join this challenge please? My income is reducing unexpectedly in January and a couple of household bills are going up so I desperately need to have my grocery spends under control. We tend to live from one week to the next. My budget is a guess at £300 but this has to include pet food, cat litter and baby stuff like nappies, wipes, formula. Roll on January when she is 1 and can have cows milk! My month starts on the 4th on January.

Hi all. I'm still in December until 3rd Jan. But I'd like to go down to 250 for Jan please. It's quite a drop but only a 4 week month and so should be doable x

Hi, I have been lurking around using this thread as inspiration. Thought I would join this year. To run from 1st to 31st please £150 for 2 adults and a few animals.:rotfl:

We have freezer stocks we are working on running down, so it will be interesting to see how it works out.

Oh, I'd like to join in.

We're hopefully moving in the new year and I need to get my finances on track as we're using all our savings for deposit/fees.

I can end up spending a silly amount on food over the month but I'd like to set a budget of £190 pounds for 2 adults and the dog!

Will run from 1st January to 31st January.

Count me in too please. We are a family of 4 and I really need to keep my spending on luxury food items under control. My month will be a calendar month starting on the 1st January.

My aim is £160 per month which will include 7 packed lunches a week, all food, toiletries and household cleaning items.

Can I join too please. My month starts on 01/01 and I'll aim for £400 for January. We are 3 adults full time plus one adult part time (uni student).

We're moving house soon so every penny I can save will help fund furniture and fittings for the new place.

Hi all, I would like to join, until end of Jan my household will be 3 adults and then will go down to 2 as my son is going to Australia for up to a year. From 1st Jan to 22nd (payday) I will aim for £225 ( 3 weeks) and after that will see how low I can go!
Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2016 to you all!
