June 2021 Grocery Challenge

goldfinches

I've been avoiding the supermarket as much as possible and trying to use up what's in the fridge, freezer and larder over the last week or so. I've spent £1.70 on milk, £1.60 on yoghurt and then £11.10 today on yoghurt, milk, nectarines, tomatoes, peppers, lettuces and cucumber which brings my total to £82.45/£120 and my average daily spend to £3.05. 
That seems to be heading in the right direction, just got to keep up the meal planning now.

So dog food is literally the only budget line i haven't gone over this month  

I overcatered DD's birthday party, not by crazy amounts, but i forgot to even put the crisps out !!!   These will now get recycled back into the general food, although still currently allocated to the party budget.  tea yesterday was l/o sandwiches and cake, dinner tonight is l/o BBQ food and l/o pesta pasta & salad.

that still leaves, various bits and bos to eat which will get eaten over the coming weeks for lunches etc.  I had also bought some basic pizzas which i didn't cook in the end - they'll just be used for lazy days and emergencies, so again, in the general food now but against the party line.

it was a really lovely afternoon, we were lucky with the weather and it was wonderful to have friends and family around again - 100% worth going over budget.


So grocery challenge wise I'm at £575.36/£561
My cupboards, fridge and freezer are all still full, and all I can think of needing right now is spinach and milk.  I'll pick these up tonight and then hopefully declare for the month tonight.

Premonition, @Money_Choices?     If you are that accurate, make sure you buy a lottery ticket.

I’m declaring at £123/£144.20, giving me £21.20 to roll over to July.  

That £21.20 is the cash left in the grocery challenge purse, which is £3 more than I was expecting.  The only thing I can think of is that, one Sunday, I forgot to deduct the newspaper voucher (equivalent to £3).

See you all in July.

 Payday was today. I will call,calculate food spends for the month of June and add here hopefully tomorrow. Gone off the boil this month as we've had our house valued and its going on the market next Tuesday madly finishing  odd bits off ready. Loads of stuff being sold from our house as it won't be going with us! 
See you on July grocery challenge

Was going shopping for the lunch I am doing for 20 but apart from pasta and maybe milk, I can manage without from my stores. So will use this and check current prices to charge back. I will still need a few bits but can wait now.
