August 2016 Grocery Challenge

Please can I join with £240.

It's the first time with my husband on board so I'm hoping that makes it easier to stick to as he is the one carrying the cash!

I think I need to have this month off as I have three lots of visitors coming over the next four weeks. Hope to get back on track in September.

I've watched this thread for several months with the intention of joining, but obviously haven't.

However, our first baby is due in January �� so would like to get ahead with budgeting.

Could I please be put down for £200 this is for me and oh, and our dog. Our month will run from 31st July to 28th August. Our main problem is spending extra money on snacks xx

I have my main MrT shop coming today and I plan on going to the local (cheaper) shops to pick up the rest of the things we need, so will pop by later with the totals. I want to see if Mr T substitutes anything first before I post my totals.

Aiming for £165 this month, but coming in under £185 is also an achievement.

Just done some workings out. Based on the last two months overspends, I am so far £85 over budget on the year for the food shops.

To come back under budget I will have to reduce the rest of the years shopping budgets by £17, so £168 each month.

New targets for the rest of the year each month is £168.

Made a lovely tea last night with what I had in the house, except for a sachet of chow mein stir fry sauce which was 68p. It was Quorn Vegan Pieces (been in the freezer for aaages as couldn't think of something to do with them!), red onion, leek, cauliflower, courgettes and mushrooms, cooked in a little sesame oil then added the chow mein sauce at the end... it was absolutely delicious and I have my leftovers for lunch today! As it's just me, I tend to make an extra portion of my tea for the next day's lunch, otherwise fall into the trap of buying stuff!

Hello,

please could I get my groceries budget updated to £50 this month. I am away most of the time, so the remaining 12 days between pay-days will have to do with much smaller funds

Thank you X

Sticking with £200 this month as i've changed to fit my work pay which is 25th of each month.

Currently at £29.28 after a couple of days but that's stocked up a few bits.

Already spent £60 on a weekly shop and will be heading to the market on Sunday for a massive meat box for £60 - but I'll be portioning and freezing it!
