moving_forward

Decided to avoid another shop on the way home and will eat the bagels I have in for weekends for breakie for the next day or two.  So thats £3.70 spent today on groceries- totals in signature.

Thinking it maybe easier for me if I change my dates to match the calendar month. (instead of 24th to 23rd)
Please can I change my start date to !st March. Updated totals in signature.
Thanks for running the thread.

Budgets for March £350 Groceries, £50 Toiletries/Household, £50 Pets.

Aaargh! March 3rd, and I'm more than halfway through my budget for the entire month! I popped into L!dls on the way back from taking my mother home from her 2-week visit, and topped up all the store-cupboard non-perishables that had run down somewhat in that time. Also I'd done a bulk order of flour from the mill, something I do every 4 months, so that's been added in too. On the one hand, we should have enough in now to see us through March, with the exception of fresh stuff, but including pet & livestock food. I also need to order a sack of oats, though. I'm very conscious of the need to have enough in store to keep 4+ people plus cats, cockatiels and chickens for two weeks, if necessary...

ETA: oats now added too... now to keep a tight rein for the rest of the month!

So A&C delivery Monday was £58.13 and a Mr S shop today came to £21.09, so a total of 79.22.
Wouldn't be too bad but OH forgot his pizza for tomorrow so will be shopping tomorrow (we have everything in to make pizza but he can't be bothered *roll eyes*) hoping that is all that gets picked up.

£83.45/£224.82
£141.37 left.

Can I join this great challenge please? I am trying to cut down my spends on food shopping and use up some of what’s already in the cupboards. According to my bank account app February spends were roughly £200 for the month - this is down from the usual £300 👍. Would like to try and reduce this further to £150 for March 🤞. First shop of the month coming today so will update later with the damage.

Delivery yesterday and a stop for something I forgot means £60.99 so far for March.
