Aaagh was going through my receipt from Saturday and my meal deal wines been through twice, so I’ve paid £7 for a bottle of wine I didn’t have. Plan to take this up with them remember the cashier being flustered. Don’t fancy my chances of getting reimbursed though.9

Can I join in please
I'm looking at £50 for DD and myself for a week. I think it's more than doable if I just watch what I'm buying and stop throwing food out.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged9 -

I always take a moment when leaving any store to scan my receipt, after last week in Aldi check my change too, I had decided to use cash for purchases, I always throw my loose change into a dish, another way of saving money, £4 and change to throw in, only got £3, may have dropped it, doubt it.Do I need it or just want it.8

Hi I'm in for March.
I am pleased how February went.
Budget is £200 for 2 adults and 2 dogs. As this will be a 4 week month might be able to add some cleaning/toiletries. I do have a stash of these already will do an inventory so not to let it get too big. Am doing an immediate deduction of saving for the meat purchase when that occurs. My month runs from 27th to 26th.

Hi all, I'd love to join you for March! We're a family of three - two adults and a 1yo. I have no idea what we've been spending lately so will be aiming for $500AU for the month and keeping all the receipts to see how we go. Hubby is applying for a job with lower pay and we're keen to see how we might manage
We'll start on 1st March and run for the calendar month.March 2020 grocery challenge $921.76/$500AU

Tues - Shep pie (made in freezer x 2 bases)
Weds - Freezer fish chips & peas
Thurs - Sausage, mash and cabbage
Fri - Chilli rice for Mr M_F chips for me with cheese sprinkled on top (made in freezer 4 x portions for two)
Started planning next weeks meal plan so can work out what we need shopping wise:
Sat - Pie (need to buy) chips (may need) and minted mushy peas
Sun - Roast Pork (need to buy) roasties, yorkies, stuffing, carrots and cabbage (buy 2 x carrots a week)
Mon- To be decided
Tues - Shep pie (made in freezer from last week)
Weds - Freezer fish chips & peas (may need more battered fish for Mr M_F)
Thurs - Freezer veggie fingers, mash and baked beans.
Fri - Some sort of curry will need to check what spice mix/ingrediants we have in.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓
