June 2021 Grocery Challenge

joedenise

Thanks for the new thread @elsiepac however I'm going to opt out of the Grocery challenge for the next couple months as I have several holidays in our motorhome arranged which makes it difficult to budget groceries in any meaningful way.  I'll still read as and when I can but won't be registering my spends!

@joedenise I've put a note by your name, have a lovely time on all your holibobs!!
@Fiona236 I've added you to the list at the front, welcome! If you need inspiration before June officially starts please check out May's thread! Everyone in here is really lovely

Thanks @elsiepac.  We're probably away more than at home over the next couple of months.  DH has even hinted he might book some more sites for August and we're definitely away September so it may well be October before I'm back!

Thanks @elsiepac I'm hoping we have finished with May, except for a delivery or two of milk and eggs. I'll post the five months to date figure at the actual end of May

Thanks for the new thread @elsiepac.  I am in again for June.  Please put me down for £170 this month.  I know I don't post much but I am still following along.

Thank you for opening a new thread for June @elsiepac!  Please can you put me down for £300; the same as May (tho' I'm hoping to do better).

It's been enlightening holding myself to account this month, I'm pretty sure it's saved us many ££'s

Hello,
Could you please put me down for £400 for June. This is for 3 adults, 1 child, 2 cats and all cleaning and toiletries too. I shop fortnightly and do tend to stock up on something each fortnight. This is my normal budget .. I want to stick within it June and will try and use all your money saving tips to tighten it from July onwards ... that's the plan anyway :-) 
Thanks :-)

Thank you, @elsiepac! Please could you put me down for £550 this month? For us, it's a 5-week month, from 28/05 through to 30/06. I'm feeding & cleaning up after 5 adults; two omnivores, two pescatarians and one (slowly improving) fusspot. I'm looking at that & thinking, that's just so much money! But that's what it takes at the moment to eat the way we choose, and luckily, at the moment, it's affordable for us even though we only have one salary coming in. (We're encouraging the Offspring to save all that they earn, in the hope that one day they'll be able to afford homes of their own...) But I should be able to earn a bit this month too, weather permitting, and it won't be long before we're getting more out of the allotment than chard, leeks (nearly gone) and rhubarb. But again - weather permitting...

 Please count me "in" for the usual £140.00

Thanks for the new thread, @elsiepac. The above amount may increase if we have any money leftover from May.  That £140 covers all supermarket spending for me and DH.
