September 2016 Grocery Challenge

Morning All, been absent a bit as I have been decluttering and working on my Second Purse / Shop ... I have been picking up items that are on deals that I use all the time ... these include fabric conditioner, multi purpose cleaners, loyd grossman tikka masala, tomato & basil and tomato & chilli, dolmio, wipes. I have also come across deals online ie superdrug members only deal 250ml shower gel 49p each, quidco had a £10 cashback on a £5 spend at wilkos for new customers so I have picked up these also. Now I have a nice base, I will adding my first £10 (payday) to my second purse and will also start buying from my store, and sit back and watch the profit roll in

PS I also buy toilet rolls and washing powder at costco - I have factored in the cost of these also

thankyou so much for mentioning the superdrug shower gel offer, its one of the few I can use that doesn't make me itch like mad cos of my skin condition.
I've taken advantage of the offer to stock up for a year, luckily it comes out of personal budget and not grocery budget as I bought other stuff too.

Hi folks £134/£300

I've got 2 shopping days left until payday, so pretty confident I will make my target this month :T

Back from holiday where I spent a few pennies on snacks so £73 spent so far this month and plenty in the cupboards and freezer. I am scared of reducing the budget and failing but as I transferred £62.65 into savings last month and it looks as if I am going to have a fair bit of money left over this month I think it has to be done because I don't feel as if I am stretching myself at the moment which kind of defeats the object.

11th Sept, 3 weeks left of the budget because it's a 5 week month argh!

£143 left of £200 grocery budget which is great, then £83 left of the fun budget (beer and eating out) which was originally £160 for the month.

Not terrible and the cupboards are full ish. We had value frozen white fish in a stew with home grown potatos and tomatos today :-)

Did the weekly shop today. I never normally get any decent YS goodies as I live in London and stuff is normally reduced from £3 to £2.70 or something along those lines. However, today we went to Tesco about an hour before it closed (it is 24 hour so only actually closes once a week on a Sunday) and got a nice pack of 30p sausages, 2 chicken breasts for 50p, some posh fish fingers for 50p and some cream cakes for pud for 23p. I was pretty chuffed with this! Total cost of shop after coupons and cashback was £8.84 so new total is:
£19.26/£40
