June 2008 Grocery Challenge

fluffysox

Hello everyone, would love to join you foy June 08 budget challenge.
I think we normally spend £200 per month (me, OH and dog) on groceries, including a few treats, (wine and beer mainly- and chewsticks for the dog) After discussion we have decided to reduce the treats, except for dog's chewsticks as they're only a pound per bag each month- although OH did suggest we keep buying his beer and just cut down on the chewsticks:rotfl: .
So this month, I'm going to set a target of £170. Then see how we go.

HI GUys!

Heres to a new month, hugs to everyone that went over and congratulations to those who didnt. Not me :mad:. Still as I say new month etc. I was following the flow on fresh yeast someone said you could freeze this, do you have to treat it any different when it is defrosted? Oh and just to show how sad I am after only one month saw two flowers on my melon plants and couldnt stop telling everyone I met. Crazy or what?:o

SFT - more tips please I am listening and learning!
Weezle 74 - can you post your red kidney been pate please?
Galactic green - keep going you can do it.
Happytails, Judellie, Queenpig, ladyroughneck and Anitaj73 - Welcome guys, don't be afraid to ask any questions you are not sure of and pass any tips you find on the way (and recipes of course :rotfl: )

anyhow back off to watch my melon plants dink1

I'm setting myself two targets as I get paid on the 15th of the month:

1 - 15th June: £30
15th June - 15th July: £100

I've never actually been able to track my grocery spending properly for more than a week at a time so my main challenge will be to keep focussed on my spending all month. If anything that's more important to me this month/next month than coming in on target, although that would be great too!

Right, not been on for a while, but back in a new mood of determination (wonder how long this will last!!)
So - here for June - £320 for 3 adults with another coming back from Uni end of month, we have to cut down as money is getting tighter all the time, along with everyone else, I guess.
I have also got to lose weight - big tuts from dr. this week (hangs head in shame), so, its shape up or ship out for Suzi this month!!
