Good Luck for the GC 2019 everybody.

First spend of the year is £2.70 at Morrisons.

NSD here, nothing needed except sleep as a stinky cold crept up on me last night and is in full flow today!
Peeled the last of the potatoes, will have sausages, mash & peas for tea with a slug of gravy.. Pure comfort food!

£12.94 spent yesterday - mainly on non-food items (kitchen roll, loo roll, razor blades, deodorants, cotton buds, indigestion tablets) but a couple of bottles of sparkly water, bread and butter.

Plenty of food in the house at the moment so don't imagine that I will need to buy anything else this week - I have some asparagus that needs using up and some vegan chorizo so will probably do a pasta dish to finish that off tomorrow

So, £12.94/£3600

Chicken curry tonight and left out veg soup from the freezer for lunch tomorrow.

Loving making a dent in the freezer supplies.

Thanks for the new thread elsiepac

My target to beat this month is Decembers Spend - £278.61

I'm going to keep trying to beat each month's spend throughout the year, until I've taken it as far as I can.

Mrs_Cheshire

Could you put me down for my usual £400 please. Ideally I'd like to be around £350 to offset the overspend from December, but we'll see how the month progresses.
Had a small spend of £8.22 today, on bread, milk and some fruit. Will do the main shop tomorrow!

Happy new year! NSD here.
We've meal/grocery planned for the month around what's in the fridge, freezers and pantry and I'm feeling ready for the new term. Love it when the school holidays let me get organised and ahead of ourselves.
We planned Christmas carefully with house guests and visitors but still have lots of bits and pieces in our cupboards, freezers and pantry. Should help us undercut our month.
