@angeliciousSave £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target. The 2026 Save £12k in 2026 thread is here
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I finished the year at £2880.99/£3000 or 96.03% of my annual spend so I am sticking with a £3000 annual budget for 2026
I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the grow your own in 2026 discussion thread

You've got me down for £0 for January - I'll say the same for February although in reality it'll probably be minus numbers again. I'll see how the next few weeks ago but may drop out for 2025, don't want to drag the stats down
