January 2017 Grocery Challenge. NEW BEGINNINGS!

Closed my four week month with 41p to spare. Then we looked again at our budget calculations and realised we'd miscalculated and our actual food budget allocation from the total pot was higher than we realised (probably miscalculated when switching to four month system). So my actual surplus is £11.33 (that means takeaway money!!) and next month the target has gone up by a small amount

Totted up totals and i'm about £3over average for January. Though bought loads of bulk buy stuff and doing an eating out of freezer an cupboard challenge for Feb, so hope I don't spend anything near to target for Feb.

Moving over to there now.

Final Score was 22.17 underbudget for the month, well pleased! keeping budget the same for February despite the slightly shorter month as don't want it too feel too strict that it isnt do-able

have spent £102 in the first week which is more than normal. However I have cooked all day and prepared veg soup, chicken and mushroom soup, lasagne, spaghetti mince, chilli chicken and a chicken and red wine casserole with herby dumplings for tea. I am hoping with other bits that I have that next week will be under budget.
