July 2021 Grocery Challenge

Count me "in" for July @elsiepac. At the moment, our

GC Budget will be £140

but that may increase if there's anything to roll over from June.  That £140 is for all groceries and supermarket shopping, for two adults, normally 3 meals a day.  Our month will run from 1st to 31st. The Meat Fund is excluded and usually spent at our local butcher shop every couple of months.  

Thank you for the new thread.

I’ll be in for July. Still doing June but put me down for £350 again. Perhaps third time lucky 🤞

Thank you @elsiepac once again.

I'm still trying to crack the £300 a month. Cupboards are looking much more organised than they were, and for certain I'm meal planning a lot better. 

Please put me down for £300 in July.

I will be £200 again please when I get there a little early. Not sure about reducing at this time but I am saving the excesses, what ever they may be. That may come when I can get DH to finish work completely due to his health.

Can I join with £350 for the month please?

2 adults and 2 little ones and this is a reduction of nearly 250 from what we spent last month!! Whoops!

Hi there,

I'd like to join for July (29 June to 28 July inclusive) with a budget of £180, please. Thank you very much!

Thank you, @elsiepac! It's another 5 week month for us, from 1st to 31st; I'll be brave & go for £550 again to feed 5 adults with (at least) 2 different diets going on. Several changes this month; DD1 will no longer be working for a supermarket, so her opportunities to pick up veggie treats at a discount will have vanished, so she's thrown back onto the main family budget again, but against that, she'll be working much more regular hours, so won't be so tired & will be able to give more of a hand with the actual cooking. And our first grandchild is due to put in an appearance at some point, so there will be guests; we're just 4 miles away so the obvious base for the admiring hordes. However I believe DS3 is missing for some of the month; off Ooop North for a church thing, provided his nephew arrives at a convenient moment, so the ready-made pizza supply can dwindle for a bit. Or maybe that's August? I do lose track a bit!

I don't think I've played since last year! I read along every month! Would love to join in this month. We have been under our £300 per month budget every month so far this year I'm going to stick to £300 for now which is for 2 adults, a dog and a cat (~£60 of our budget goes towards them). Our month runs payday-payday (25th).
