June 2025 Grocery Challenge

K9sandFelines

Officially joining you for the month now.
First spend is just 65p, for a toilet roll from my own stock.
DD1 is picking me up some things from Tesc@ whilst she's out tomorrow, before collecting DGD, so may have to add another spend later today.
If so, I'll edit the post.

I'm hoping to keep a tighter budget this month,.as normally I'm spending just over £100 as opposed to my budget of £150.

Watch this space 👀!!

Hey y’all. Hello from Edinburgh. [waves] We’re leaving here tomorrow and I wanted to record the items I deliberately bought to take back home with us. I spent £15.70 as part of a Waitrose home delivery order this week. That bought 6 packets of Scandi round rye crispbreads that I can’t find anywhere else locally, some no sugar strawberry jam, roasted unsalted peanuts, and some cheddar shortbread. 

£137.77 / £325 spent. £187.23 total remaining.  

We get home tomorrow afternoon and have a £100.00 Tesco order arriving an hour afterward. I’ll update the final amount after receiving the goods.

Good evening everyone, just back from my holiday. Glanced through the recent posts and I know I should be acknowledging, apologies for not doing so, amazing what can happen in 5 days.
Anyway just a quick post to say we spent £196.55 while we were away. Not too bad considering we ate out a lot . 

Lovely farm shop on our way up and 3 National Trust places included while we were away.  Their lunch prices are not too bad. An evening meal out when we met DS2 and a meal out for our last night 

Brings the June total to £337.59/£400

Have a great weekend all

Another shop of £75.39, which means I will have to very careful for the rest of the month. It hasn't been helped by OH going to the supermarket for ice cream and returning with a bottle of gin and some tonic water! He said the weather was right for a long g&t with ice, which to be fair it was. I think next month I will cut alcohol out of my grocery budget and put it in a treat budget instead, as OH said, if we went for a drink in a pub we wouldn't take it out if the grocery budget.

£241.58/£300.00
