January 2008 Grocery Challenge

sweetpeas_2

Pink, count me in for this please!
I will be counting mine weekly, as our second income is paid weekly. I have seen alot of people with this challenge in their sig's for months and months and am really interested in doing it aswell!

My budget at the moment is going to be £50/wk. I feed 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog. As its the first time I am doing this challenge I dont know how realistic my target is, Im just trying to go by the amount of spare money we have roughly each week.

Hope all of this is okay, as I've not done this challenge before.
My shopping week will start each Saturday, as that's when we get our money. My first week will be Sat 5th Jan, as we are going to visit DH family until 5th Jan.

Hi everyone,

I'm in too for €320, which is just under €73 per week...as I tend not to shop every seven days I think that this should be ok. Freezers are full and all we will need over next 10 days or so will be fruit/veg and milk. This is for three adults, a five year old and the occasional visitor

Include me in your list lil_me please.

Good luck to all, especially the newcomers to the challenge.

Hello, I'm aiming for £150 for the month of january, that's to cover me and hubby.

Hoping I can do better than the last couple of weeks!

MissEyre

Ooh, I'm in please! Have been looking forward to it! I am going for £120, so £30 a week-my pay dates fall every four weeks, so I'll see how I get on with that to start with.

Hello,

I am new to this board as well but please can I join? I would like to set a budget of £150 for the month for two of us and a cat. We have a full freezer and full cupboards so I hope this is realistic. I am also starting a diet in Jan so in theory should be eatting a little less than normal!

Thanks

Evening everyone

Just thought i'd pop back on and let you know (for those who haven't seen on the Dec thread)that at the moment LIDLs white bread flour is on offer at 48p for a 1.5 kilo bag.. (i have just picked up 20 to take home with me shhhh), and they also have 1 kilo gammon joints to cook yourself on for £2.99...
Even if its of use to just one other person -im happy

Good luck everyone

Hi everyone, I'd like to join in if I may. I am initially setting a budget of £100 a week to feed 2 very greedy adults, 3 DD's, 1 dog, 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs plus any other waifs and strays who end up at the table! Eventually, I would love to knock about £25 a week off that (and put it towards paying my bills earlier) but baby steps first I think. I'm also very interested in the 'losing weight old style' thread and hopefully this will help my food budget too. It's gotta be a win win situation!!!
Good Luck everyone.
Love Dumpling x

Hi Everyone. I know it's late but I've just been checking out store cupboards, freezers etc and they are all full so I am hoping that it bodes well for a good challenge in january-hoping to come in about £40 under target-obviously now i've said that it'l be like the kiss of death for my success!!!!! ah well, here's hoping. Hope everyone is ok MikeD how's your DW, haven't heard from you for a while I hope she is on the mend and that you are looking after her well-(obviously I'm sure she is getting the best of care). Welcome to all the newbies, good luck with your challenges.
