November 2019 Grocery Challenge

Cherry_Burton

Hi

Please put me down for £150 this month. Most of the month it will be just me but for part of the time, I will have family staying so hence the extra.

Hello all

Read through a few of these challenges and would like to join please!

We live in Spain so are in euros (if that’s ok I can convert if needed)

Food, toiletries and baby products (nappies, wipes etc) for my girl. She’s nearly 10 months old and is baby led weaning so eats what my husband and I eat.

Aiming for €250 this month

Thanks

Don't think there's any reason to convert. I think this thread is mostly to keep us accountable to ourselves and get some motivation from others

I've looked at Lidl's buys this week, going to try and write a mealplan today/tonight and then get to Lidl in the morning for the first shop. As budget is £190 we're aiming for £47.50 for each of the four times we go shopping.

Can I join please, £300 for 2 of us and a very fussy OH, the furry is easy pleased as long as it's chicken or turkey flavoured.

£10.35 Between Tosco and Adli, not much needed as going to daughters for a few days, using up stock until I go, cash needed as dog in kennels for 12 days to cover firework season.

Eeek! It's just the first the month and a massive £120 has gone already! In my defence I'm feeding 8 all weekend, including a massively-allergic, hollow-legged 6' rugby-playing teenager, so have had to be very picky and not cut my usual corners, particularly not feeding my mostly-vegetarian daughters nuts, which their cousin is extremely allergic to.

But at least there should be lots of leftovers to go through the week and freeze for future reference too.

I've just realised that it's not in fact a 5-week month, as payday is Friday 29th. Which means that December, with all its added festive fare, WILL be. However, said festive fare will come out of the Christmas account, so I'm trying not to panic...

Thank you. It’s definitely a motivation for me so I’m looking forward to seeing how we do

Hey - I'd like to rejoin for November at £150 for 2 adults, food and grocery shopping.



Spent £9.66 today so that's £140.34 left.


Oh - to add a few things about us. Not vegetarian, would like to be more plant-based, but husband has IBS and intolerances of a few things. I so wish I could just cook dahl, alas, that's a no no!

Hi everyone
Not been shopping today, but have taken inventories from the freezer and food cupboards, so I know what I have.
