May 2016 Grocery Challenge

A.T.M. retained my card last night, I just wanted cash for purse, Counted up this morning and I had £12, including £5 I was passing along for someone else, she willing to wait, ordered new card, some time next week, realistically shopped for salad and eggs Lidl £4-58, £2 in B&M, and can probably manage for everything else, It really concentrates the mind, several friends have offered cash, but I am going to try not to owe anything except the £5.
B!**£& window cleaner due, bet he comes today as sun shining..

A spend of £40 today on a restock of cupboard things, a whole chicken for Sunday and some freezer staples.
That leaves me £11 to last 9 days until pay day. Fingers crossed, it will be close!

I'm still in April until 12th May but could I be put down for £300 from 13th May to 9th June (I have a 4 week budget).

Thanks!

Put me down for £200 again as I managed that OK in April and only went 18p over.

Hello returning back with head in hands as I have fell off the wagon and need to seriously pick myself back up again!!
For two of us i'm spending anything from £60-£85 a week which is silly, more often than not closer to the £85
I'm aiming for a monthly budget £240 (average £60 a week) to start with and see how I go.
This will include food & cleaning stuff.

Unexpected trip to Ald! today as DS has post exam anxiety :eek:and was really down. He has one more to go so a promise of white chocolate cheesecake for a treat tea tomorrow cheered him up. Needed cream, white choc, cream cheese and bourbons which came to £1.66 but it will be large enough to freeze half for another day and was a small price to see a glimmer of happiness:j
Also got orange juice plus some cheese to make omelettes which will guarantee he eats breakfast no matter how worried he is. Total spend £3.77
