Hi :wave: I'd like to join in if possible this month....
There is me, DH and soon to be 18 year old DD.
I'm rather ashamed of the fact we currently spend about £140 a week on food, drink and non-perishablesAnd that's not including lunches which we all buy daily - so approximately another £70 a week on that - £210 in total :eek:
I'd really like to get that down to £100 a week, including lunches, but baby steps... so my challenge for October is to make lunches and based on a 5 week month (shopping day is Friday) total spend to be £750 which would be a £300 reduction - fingers crossed!Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)0 -
