April 2026 Grocery Challenge

ancientmum

Morning, I've not posted for a while and still need to catch up with the posts, but just popped in to update my signature with spends so far this year. I've been taking advantage of money off vouchers and special offers to buy two of each of bread flour, sr flour, pasta, oil, tinned tuna and a few other staples, including cleaning stuff.

I'm catering for a family weekend this month, part of which will include meals out where we share the costs, and then going away for a week where we will again be eating out. So some of the grocery money will be spent, also some holiday money. I've budgeted for both, so looking forward to having a lovely break.

I spent £6 in MrW. We're on holiday, and this will be our tea - burger baps and wedges (I brought the potatoes with us). MrW isn't the cheapest, but it was where we were, and we wouldn't be able to get burgers and fries for £2 a head, so…….. I've everything to make our pack-up for the return journey tomorrow, so this should be the last spending for this week….. famous last words……

550 spent of 600 3rd of 4 shops done. Went to Asda and was not impressed they had people eating food in shop from the shop and we nearly picked up a half empty packet of cornettos. ice creams. The shop was dark and not much room with empty shelves. We wont be going back. The self service was very busy but only one assistant on checkouts so queued like it was xmas. Really gone downhill.

Feels like I’m in a good place so far this month. I think calorie tracking has also helped as I have definitely been overeating snacks.
