July 2020 Grocery Challenge

Aereon

Last night we had our best shop in Ald1 so far, £29.05! That was for a weeks worth of food with a couple of cheeky treats thrown in So I was very happy with that! This has brought our monthly total up to £229.36 / £250, so I'm very pleased to say our closing total is under budget! Hooray!

Hi. I can't see the post for August Grocery Challenge? Could one of you lovely people put a link up? Thank you 
Well we got paid yesterday (Tuesday).  £10.31 spend  salad stuff and few other bits.
£35  spend in Boots for a box of masks. Yikes!!!. Need to find time to do a food list in the freezers and cupboards. We have got about 6 packs of Asia gluten free sausages lol 

Here it is - you should always be able to find it by going to the top of the screen and going to Old Style MoneySaving as @Elsiepac pins it to the first page on that board

Thank you Suffolk lass.

@Chloris it sounds to me that as you usually have to pay for school meals/snacks then a separate line makes perfect sense.  

I'll start in September 😁

Back to declare overspend! Spent £33.27 today, mostly in the veg shop, so at least healthy. Total for month is, £212.63/£200. But in my defence a much lower spend than in recent months, this is for 3 adults, plus one adult DD who buys her own food but eats ours too, 3 children and also this month DS2 stayed for several days.

£1.96 in B&M on 4 packs of jelly crystals, spotted them in Tosco £1, bought a few other bits on differing budgets so declaring for July, looks good but spent a lot on "others" this month.

Last shop yesterday, £55.27 to add, making me £324.87/ £350.00, so yippee! Under budget this month.

Gone around and got all the receipts and I am able to declare for this month :
£300.05/£300
£0.05 over budget.

Happy with this. On to August that starts tomorrow.

I've lost track of spends over the last few weeks as I've been going to the market in the county town, and local shops and not getting receipts.  I'm going to estimate £90 and have added it to the running total.
I know I won't make my annual target.  Having DS at home for an extra three months has meant I've spent a lot more but it's worth it to have him here.

Slightly lost count for July but was around £217 ish out of budget of £200 so not too bad.  Off to the August page now as I’ve already spent some.
