January 2024 Grocery Challenge

ancientmum

Declaring £56.92 spend in January.  But now the freezer and cupboards are nearly empty, so rolling over what's left into February. Don't forget it's a Leap Year, so an extra day to cater for!

Good Luck everyone

Best wishes for the chemo PipneyJane  I know how you feel but once it starts kicking in it really will help and especially if they give you some steroids, I had some and was whizzing around at top speed first week wasn't too bad then felt a bit bleach the second week by the third week started feeling an awful lot better. So chin up chicken and take everything thats offered.my oncologist said to drink Lucozade and eat chocolate after the chemo takes the melty taste away apparently So I loaded up with KitKats and bottles of the orange stuff.kept me going and being told to eat chocolate was quite nice Medicinal your see

not too pleased with myself. The majority of this was just crap, i also went crazy with the take aways. Probably why i didnt use the GC for its intended purpose 🙄
Glad for a new month.

Thanks @NeverendingDMP.  

I feel considerably better now.  Even having proper showers now, not sitting in a chair.  Absolute bliss

Thanks @London_1.

I got similar advice from my doctor.  Didn’t help much when I had absolutely no appetite, although I did manage a tiny portion of chocolate cake.  (Yum!). My “poison” of choice, this time around was full sugar, flat ginger beer.  Absolute bliss.

After a final tally, I've come in at £379.43 out of £330 spent. So an overspend of £49.43. We had a bit of a free for all in January and I'd like to tamp that down going forward.

I've started January as of the 13th and I've spent about £25-30 I think so far. Two little shops at Ald* and a few bits elsewhere.
I will add to total once I've totted up.

I'm subconsciously doing a low spend January. But have spent £15 or just under on two things. So need to sleep myself in check  ✅

I think I mean get myself in check not sleep 😴 🤭.

I've cocked my account taking up, and added my figures in the wrong month for this month. So don't know whether I went over or not. I will report back !! Once I've had chance to take another look at it

Late updating, but I spent £134.58/£150 on food/toiletries and cleaning.
I will go and add to signature.
