January 2008 Grocery Challenge

Kimberley

I really need to keep up to date with this thread this time. I seem to be spending loads when i go to waitrose, i need to educate myself to just use Tesco online so that i'm not tempted to throw things i don't need in my basket

Please whoever it is upstairs to make me not buy comfort food

Hi everyone,

I have really fallen off the wagon lately as i went back to work full time and lost track of everything!

I'm determined that I can work full time and be organised too... I am going to give myself a budget of £200. Thats for 2 adults and 2 children.

I'd like to have a go at the January Challenge as lost the plot in December.
There are 4 of us and I'd like to spend £50 a week on Groceries at the most, less if I can manage it.

Am I really obsessive for waiting until after 11pm to go make more soup stock from today's roast chicken? I've already stripped it and have enough for a sweet & sour, curry or stir fry tomorrow

whats that website that compares the prices as you do your shopping? think it compares waitrose,tesco asda etc

Can i join this challenge too please?

We have enough food to last us this week (apart from bread and milk at the end). Then we are away skiing for 1 week so only really have 15th onwards to deal with.

So my challenge is £150 for this month, should be more than do-able although will need a big shop when we get back from hols.
