January 2022 Grocery Challenge

Matron_Midge

I’m in again for 2022 with my same annual budget of £5200.00.

I will declare for the end of 2021 tomorrow on the other thread.
As always, my expenditure differs from month to month as we buy in bulk and grow our own fruit and veg where we can. My budget covers all food, drink, toiletries and cleaning and washing supplies.

Backcats -  I love your saying 'it's not a target to aim for but a ceiling to stay below' so very true and I hadn't thought of it like that. Usually if I have some monies left over I will buy something for the pantry, but just lately I haven't been able to as I've been looking at it as a target to aim for !!!

Morning everyone,  I've done the age old trick of buying things and not keeping receipts. So the best guess is a budget of 483 of which I'd already spent 155 and have now spent another 60 ish. Cross with myself but onwards and upwards eh. Total spend of 215 out of 483 so far. 27 days till payday-eek.

Hello, could I join please? I’ve been lurking for ages but would love to have a got at this and the frugal loving challenge

My month will be a calendar month and my budget will be £260 to include food, toiletries, cleaning, cat food and bulk buts. Thank you!

I’d like to set this up in my signature but when I try it’s saying I can’t, and I can’t find a reason why. Is that to do with being a n00b?

@EskarinaWeatherwax  I don't know if this help but this is how I edit my signature:
From Profile (top right of my screen) I choose edit profile
then choose signature settings from the bar menu on the left, edit the content and then save

Thank you! When I do that I see a message which says ‘you don’t have permission to use a signature’ 🤷🏽‍♀️

@EskarinaWeatherwax - If I remember correctly, it's a combination of the number of posts you've made & the length of time you've been a member that allows you to edit your signature.
