Shopping Challenge JULY 2010

[miss mopple]

Just spent £90 for this weekend and next week so that brings it down to about £148 left. Pretty sure thats do able with a week to go

Been to Sainsburys today and spent £102- but only 80 of the was food as I bought some school uniform bits for the girls. Spent about £15 in the week, so I have come in under budget this month

How about the rest of you?

Next month will be bad as we are away for 2 weeks and thats always more expensive, so I'll aim for £500 I think

OK so I have well blown my budget - DH went to buy a few top up things and bought double of everything!

I did Iceland and Waitrose - included wine and cider - well it is the holidays so have failed miserably

Oh well here's to August

Budget for July was £300 - have totalled receipts and they came to £290 so just under (unless I include the one takeaway then we will be over ). Have worked out we bought quite a few bits we shouldnt have for extra bbqs and stuff and only went shopping over 3 weeks not 4 so hopefully can stick to it for August......

Oh I'm liking the look of this - I'd like to think I don't spend much more than 300 for the month, so far this month I've spent

Week 1 - (don't have a pound sign) 55.37 shop at Asda for family of 3 including any cleaning products
Week 2 - 43.55 again at Asda for a family of 3, deducted new pj's I treated myself too

OK so I've done another weeks shop and a few bits here and there and it's come to 70 quid this week

but have however, spent 420 quid on 3 flights, a hire for 9 days and car park at heathrow ... glad that doesn't count!!

Budget was £450.00

Total spend £ 498.93

Does include a number of new clothes etc, but if it is bought from a supermarket it counts.

Will try for the £450 again next month. I am on hols for a week, but self catering, so will be included in figures

Who gonna start the new thread ?

Budget was blown this month. Have just done internet shop for next week - lots of mindees to feed and teenagers at home as well as DH and myself who are in for lunch everyday as well as dinner.

Will try for £550 for August
