    Another £239.11 paid this month taking my total to £3,533/£6,270 - 56%

    I'm going to be working on my emergency fund over the next few months so payment values will drop to £100 (I still want to see some progress). My CC is interest free and I think I'll feel a lot happier with a better buffer.

    I've £2,737 left which I'll take into next year's challenge and aim to fully clear in 2021
    December Grocery Challenge     £297.02/£400
    November Grocery Challenge     £401/£360
    October Grocery Challenge         £382/£400
    September Grocery Challenge    £324/£320
    August Grocery Challenge          £388/£400

    2024 Grocery Challenges      Average - 98.67% spend vs Budget

  • I haven't checked in for a while. Not quite as far on to debt free as I had hoped but I've bought and sold a house and bought a car in the mean time. Still making tracks to being debt free (aside from the mortgage) I'll probably be signing up for next year.

    Thanks to everyone here for keeping me motivated.
    We’ve given back a car on finance which freed up so extra money each month. So relived to pay off this loan today!
