March 2021 Grocery Challenge

My final food shop is done for this month and I have £23 left over. I am delighted.  Already signed up for next month's challange.

Clawed a little bit back from very spendy Feb, but I forgot to allow for being off work this week, which usually means I want to do some fancy cooking!
I am observing that I do a lot of online shopping for long life goods at the moment. No desire to be in supermarkets at all; my habits have totally changed from "popping in to get tea on the way back from work" to "hermit."

Evening everyone, spent €16.74 weekend supermarket shop.  €35.31 left of budget to see us through to the end of the month. 

Shopping list ready for this week which includes special offers on soup, fresh ravioli, butter,  jars of minced garlic and ginger for emergencies (been caught short many times) and some  fresh ingriedients for chilli con carne to batch cook and freeze, plus the usual suspects milk, bread, and tea.  €214.69/€250

Good evening to you all. Done a iceland shop and they delivered yesterday £50. Need to check and total up, also £40.40 in Asde. Hopefully that's it for now. We have another 2 weeks to go.

Morries are changing their £5 off vouchers in &More system so they stop in May and need to be spent by August - so no more saving them for Christmas!

Been quiet the last few weeks, but that applies to the shopping as well.
Currently at £478/£561 with £82.70 left until next Wednesday.
This includes all chocolate for Easter (eggs for all 5 of us and a garden egg hunt for the kids) 
We will need std weekly bits but nothing special, no step kids this weekend so that lowers costs a little.  Last couple of Lidl shops have been about £65ish, plus greengrocer at £15.
Definitely better than last year and enjoying being more Frugal.

£48 spent in A1di today.  Currently at £330/£425 for March but I will also add whatever I buy on click and collect this weekend.  It will definitely be under budget though.  I had been spending around £500 up until I joined this group.  😊

Have been avoiding the shops but did a planned trip with a long list today and had to go to three supermarkets to get everything. I discovered that my local M*rks doesn't even sell soap any longer, just hand wash, cream bars, wipes and the like but no soap not even for babies.
Anyway I spent a grand total of £42.04 which brings my total this month to £94.99/£124 which is a daily spend of £4.13 which isn't bad considering I have meals for the next week covered now.

Good morning everyone. 

Total fail this month and have gone a bit mad at the end. Total spends this week of £84.18 over 4 shops. Mainly gone over with alcohol spends !

just added up for the month and the totals not as bad as I thought.
 £270.68/£250.00
Thats it for this month and I think I might up my budget for April to £300 as it’s a 5 weeker or try to cut down on alcohol 😂.
