November 2025 Grocery Challenge

itsthelittlethings

Got paid so starting early. Bought some oat milk in bulk to be delivered, it’s a bit expensive but I got a discount for taking a subscription (will probably cancel) and 6 free matcha oat milk so it was worth it.

£20.19/ £250.

I've been overtrading in recent months but have been keeping an eye on my spends and this challenge! Despite life being quite stressful - normally a big trigger for me to spend in the supermarkets on food I have been keeping to my £250 budget! I class this as a win.

There is myself, my adult son (who lives here half of the time) and a little well feed pooch - I eat meat and strive to do a low carb and very low fat diet which means it doesn't always come cheap. 

November budget £250.

Thanks everyone for keeping me on the straight and narrow recently - reading along has kept me motived!

Thank you for our new thread, @JingsMyBucket! I think I'll leave my target at 

£450

please! I was too ambitious last month, to start with. As it's a 4-week month and there are just 3 adults to feed, I should manage that, although I have no idea as yet how many of my lovely offspring & their families are planning to descend on us for a meal here & there or "a few days"!

Away this weekend Grandchildren sitting  so will put my target in for November and sort out all October figures when I get home.

Hope you are OK @elsiepac. Thank you for keeping us on track for as long as I have done this challenge. Hope you are OK.

£250 for me please @JingsMyBucket Thanks for taking this challenge on. I would spend so much more without it.
