November 2019 Grocery Challenge

elsiepac

I'm in for £250.

Current planning (although this is subject to change) indicates a ~£50 stock up shop which includes replenishing

• Tinned tomatoes and passata
• 8 spices/spice mixes
• Other stores including jarred roasted peppers, baked beans, siken tofu, mustards and coconut milk
• Various tinned beans
• Toothpaste
• Loo cleaner
• Kitchen rolls
• Dishwasher tablets
• Laundry tablets

I also need to spend ~£30 on 2 medicinal items that I'm on my last ones of that aren't prescription.

This leaves me ~£170 for the month, which is a 32 day-er, so £37 a week or £5.30 a day.

Thank you, elsiepac! I can bump my target up to £450 this month, to include all food, toiletries & cleaning stuff for 4 adults (plus guests at weekends) 3 cats, 2 cockatiels, and 12 chickens of varying sizes. It's a 5-week month, and some festive stocking-up is called for, but That Will Have To Do!

Thanks for the new thread, Elsiepac. Count me “in”, please, with a budget of at least* £120, to cover all groceries - excluding meat and big bulk purchases - for two adults. Our month will run from November 1st to 30th.

- Pip

* As usual, if there is any money left over from October’s budget, I’ll roll it into November’s.

Please count me in again Elsiepac.
£210 and 16 NSD
(Although I may need to increase it depending on Oct challenge outcome).
That's for 3 adults, but quite a often 2 and occasionally 4. (2 small eaters and 1 greedy oink).
For all food plus toiletries for 2 ( dd buys her own) and cleaning stuff.
The fluffy princess has her food bought from the vets so is from a different (probably larger:p) budget.

Was just doing some recalculation and realised I had it slightly wrong, plus shaved a bit off my stock replenishing - so actual figures are:

£250 total
£75 for stock plus the medical items
Remaining £175 over 5 weeks = £35 per week exactly

Now to stick to it!

I'm in!

I'm trying to eat out of the cupboards and freezer as much as possible this month so I'm expecting some weird and wonderful meals will be had!! :rotfl:

I'm meant to be on an annual budget but to be honest, it's been such a strange year for a multitude of reasons that I've totally lost the plot and have no idea where I am with it anymore!
All I can do is keep everything to the bare minimum until the end of the year then get back to a proper budget for 2020!
