July 2026 Grocery Challenge

@JingsMyBucket - Morries have a 20% discount offer on World Foods until the 21st July. Depending on whether you get your eg coconut milk from the world foods section (I'm making a huge assumption that your store has a WF section), it may well be reduced - along with some spices etc. The offer does only apply to the WF section - rather than the 'spices' section, or the 'storecupboard' section. But even in the several Morries I have near me (which aren't very hot on WF), there have been a range of asian/mexican/south-east asian/middle eastern etc foods included. I had to go to a larger store in a much more cosmopolitan area to get the pulses I needed, but I have bought capers, lentils, tahini etc under the offer. MrJingsMyBucket may need a considerably bigger bike……😁

Hi @JingsMyBucket

Have you added your "my points boosters" offers that are relevent? They're the ones that are valid for the month, but you choose 10 from a range.

Went to Morrisons the other day, but they were out of stock of 2 of the 3 items I specifically went for :-( They were still having supply issues due to the heat.

I'd be wary of trying to get to a specific spend with things being out of stock, I don't want to make up the difference with more expensive things I wouldn't choose normally, but if you can stick to extras being ambient dried and canned that helps.

Good luck!

It is not looking good for July.

£65.96 weekly shop plus £6.95 delivery pass as well as 2 Co-op shops, including a bottle of rum yesterday. I had the last of what I had to watch the football on Wednesday and really enjoyed it so bought a new bottle. It is actually an exercise in frugality as a bottle of wine would only last a couple of nights, while a more expensive bottle of rum will last many.

Payday not until the 28th and we are away in the campervan for a couple of days before then 😶

Current total:

£334.08/£350
