Last week of Jan was a failure on the GC budget for the week as I had my son staying for the weekend. Spent £92.00
in total but I have ended up with freezer meals from that so its not all bad.
Totals for Jan £172 of £160 from main groceries and £9 of £40 from my bulk buy fundDeclutter 2024 :277
Save £12k: #47 £4757.58/£12000
Grocery challenge: £2080 pa, bulk buy £520 pa7 -
Hi guysMy January GC came in at £143.41, which I’m really proud of cos this includes keeping a full freezer and plenty in the cupboards.Any leftover Xmas food was integrated into the menu plans for the month, so the only waste from Xmas was a tiny piece of Brie which was a bit dry and sad.
It’s helping that we’re all healthy eating so the lack of pudding, cake and biscuits is balancing out the extra veg.
Good luck for next month GCers

£7.86 spent since last post.Doom_and_Gloom said:
£247.91/£248.
£10.09 left.
£4.86 in Waitr*se. £2.77 was on a 1kg box of easy peelers as the fruit bowl was rather empty; only having a couple of apples and a few bananas in it. I could have gone without, however I prioritise health over budget whenever possible; especially in winter when there are more illnesses doing the rounds.
£3 on a TGTG bag from the local coffee place for OH on his way in to work today.
£245.77/£248.
£2.03 left.I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy
