First shop £30.10/£250. Trying hard to sort the larder cupboard and make use of the 16kg bag of flour bought during lockdown number one. Think I will be okay now till next weekend (fingers crossed)4

Hmmm.... 1st of the month and 2 shops visited and £126.98/ £500 spent already! (121.38 food, 5.60 toiletries, £5 lightbulbs (so household, not grocery budget)) - did get 3 multipacks of soft drinks because I only tend to visit that shop maybe once/ mth, 2 big boxes of our usual teabags (on offer cheaper than I've seen since start of year, so they can go with the 1.5 boxes in the cupboard), lunchbox things for smalls, lots of fresh veg (and some frozen) and some tinned soup for easy warm lunches for DD). I did get an extra 1660 N3ctar points on top of the 71 from my shopping, too - and a free bag of frozen roasties thanks to a shopping app
Still need to not buy too much more before next weekend!

Hi please put me down for my original £200 groceries only for 2 adults and 2 children. My month runs 15th-15th so already halfway through and actually not doing too well as I've already spent about £180.... Hmmm. I am aiming to only do i more shop for the next two weeks and have a £10 lidl voucher so that will bring it down a bit.
I wanted to pop into Sainsbury's to get one thing today and there was a queuing again! There was about 80-100 people in the queue! I drove into the car park and back out again! 😂Grocery challenge:

Hi everyone, my month started on the 26th and runs until the 25th.
I've spent £137.27 already, and hoping it doesnt go skyhigh due to current lockdown. There are practically no delivery slots available , so i hope i dont start to struggle to get stuff we normally buy; and have to buy alternatives costing more.
Good Luck for this month everyone GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July ££110.46/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.
