€6.42 spent

Needed a few bits for lunch today

€293.58 left

€43.01 spent

This is over the last few days as I buy different things in different places. My challenge to only buy reduced or on offer meat/fish was a success. My husband bought us a tray of chicken and minced beef but apart from that everything else was either on offer or reduced so I’m going to carry this on for February. Today I got a packet of sausages and a whole chicken (a rare find) at 30% off.

€250.57 left

€23.61 spent

yesterday and today. Lidl has baby bel on offer that was too good to refuse and so I spent €6 on those alone 

I am still struggling with this layout and colours

€226.96 left 

€10.23 spent today 

needed more milk, breakfast items and onions. I also picked up monkfish and cod at 30% off

€216.73 left 

€110.63 spent

this over several big shops over the past week. I feel like I’ve been doing well this month. I think the fact my husband hasn’t been going shopping helps and as we had things like nappies and wipes in stock we haven’t needed to buy any 

€106.10 left 

So counted the last week of February and we have spent €52.43 so I’m actually nearly €50 under spent for the month which i am pleased with. I will round it to €50 and add that onto March (will update March for now as I’ve spent today and yesterday)

I'm ending February with a spend of £6.66 on fruit and bread from Adli. Spring must be on the way, I didn't have to turn the lights on until nearly 6pm.  Let's hope the weather starts to warm up soon

Declaring February's total to be..... £138.76 out of my £100 budget! So I have concluded that my new budget should be a bit higher than £100, as you can only get super basic stuff on such a budget and there's no room for error. So for March's Grocery Challenge I am setting myself a slightly higher budget of £25.. I think that is achievable? We will see

Sorry I havent had chance to come back to this thread at all.
I am a little over for the month with the total spend being £340.16 of a £320.00 budget.
Having to cater for a g.f. diet again,more strict than normal, as i was very ill the weekend just gone, even though i cant pinpoint anything inparticular that may have set it off.So need to reign in eating stuff that obviously doesnt agree with my ever so sensitive digestive system.
Need to go back on the thread now to find the tips to update signature. See you on the March thread.
