As I said before it's a bit of a cheaty month really as we were away for the first week of it, but I'll take the small win anyway. The excess that builds up in the grocery account will be left there to use next time we want to bulk-buy meat, or possibly to pay for the turkey at Christmas as we've said we'll get that this year.
Right - I'm off to the October thread - I'll switch off the lights as I leave, shall I?!
My challenge finishes today, but I do have to go Ald1 in a mo.
My total is on about £98 of about £120 currently. I don't think i can get it lower than that; when you are wanting to stock up on something or there's a birthday in the month, and of course price rises 🙄GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £74.69/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.
