Thanks for that, I think I'll just do the straightforward recording the totals. anything left over at the end of each month will be saved (thinking positively). Thanks for letting me join in, looking forward to seeing how everyone else does We've no online grocery shopping options available in our area, so it's a case of like it or lump it at the local Co-op!

Ooh, I've found you all in here! Please can I join in the grocery challenge from 1st January and can someone let me know if we count in vouchers or if it's just the final total of the grocery bill regardless of how it gets paid? I need to set my budget at £120 per month in order to meet my other challenges, if that's ok

**WAVES**
hehehe

Yes, I'm definitely getting the hang of these forums and which challenges are the best... I starting to spot lots of people I 'recognise' Hi Mumzy!

Managed not to spend any money since Christmas Eve, which is nice. Have about £50 to last us till Jan 10th, which I am going to find challenging as we have people staying for NY. Will be a good exercise in economising I think.

Hi everyone I'm here like I said I would be with a January Grocery budget of £150.I hope that this is a good start and I can bring it down gradually each month until I reach a comfortable budget and can add all my saved money into my sealed pot
