    @Dizzycap yes, I'm impressed too. Also my own modest efforts are doing OK too - not far off £11k so far after ten months with a target of £6k. I like to compensate for some of the drop outs so I don't change my target
    Save £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
