March 2020 Grocery Challenge

Can you put me down for £200 for March. Thanks
I think with a bit more forward planning I should be able to stay within budget. I have no intention of going shopping before the 1st of March - that's only 3 days away. I think I'll start to set myself small targets of NSD's as well - it may well help.

Hello. Please could you put me down for £250 again Elsiepac and thank you for running the thread. I'm still posting on Feb at the moment so will be along in a couple of days.

Hi, I’m going for £165 for March.  I’ve upped it slightly as it’s a longer month and freezer and cupboards are pretty bare at the moment.  Thanks very much.

Hi all

No spends yet in March - my month starts tomorrow but as I declared my final Feb spend i wanted to keep a record of my annual spends here.

Checking in with spends for the last couple of days. It's been a bit busy so I don't have an itemised list, but I have £12.60p left of the week's budget, which is being carefully preserved for Friday's "Chippy Tea"... We got a bit bad for wasting money on lazy takeaways so the idea is that we will only have chip shop dinner on a Friday night and if the budget allows. I actually feel like I'm earning my junk food this week!

First spend of the week is £10.33 on spice sachets from our favourite place.  I ordered some for a friend and had a discount code for 20% which covered the postage and a free sachet of sausage casserole mix
These will be used throughout the month to make our fakeaways which stop us wasting money on the real deal which is often not as nice!

It makes more sense for me to do my month from Thursdays given I always get paid on the last one of the month so can I be in again please for £500 for all the groceries including household and pet stuff and petrol.  I'm not going to include other stuff because to be honest I'm not going to stop them but they are 'extra' to the groceries.

Hi all, would like to join! My grocery spend for February was £98, so I'm going to challenge myself to £90 for this month (just me and 2 hungry hippos ie cats!). I have loads of veg and prepped meals in the freezer, so I'm hoping this next week or so I won't need to buy much. Get paid tomorrow so that's when I start my March cycle.
