    Count me “in” please. £120 for the month, starting 1st October. That’s for 2 adults and covers all groceries excluding meat.

    Thanks, Elsiepac for doing the Admin for the Grocery Challenge.

    Thanks elsiepac for running the thread. Could you please add me in for $400 ? That’ll just be for me but I'll be buying items to establish my kitchen again along with items like toilet paper, laundry soap, etc.

    Hello, may I join please? We buy lots of things we could do without and I really want to reduce our spending. I would like to aim for £90 per week for 3 of us, 2 adults and one teen. this excludes pet food as I buy only once every other month from an online retailer but will include cleaning products, loo roll etc. I have started meal planning following an inventory as I shop weekly.
    Starting Total in September 2019 = £38287.77
    Current Total = £25534.10
    33% of debt paid off so far
