2 adults, 2 children, 4 weeks - £200 - The summary

September

This months big challenge is the 2 children, 2 adults, £200 and 4 weeks challenge.

We spend tooo much on grocery shopping in this house..... we've cut down considerably but the last couple of months I've let things slip and now spend FAR tooooo much.

So with the cupboards and freezer looking a bit like Mother Hubbards House and hubby having just been paid I decided now was as good a time as any to start the food challenge again.

For the purpose of this challenge I am only counting actual FOOD and DRINK costs!  Not household essentials, not toys, games, books just plain  and simple Food and Drink.

2 adults, 2 children, 4 weeks and £200 for food ...........week 4 update.............

So - tomorrow should have been food day.
However due to our urge to move house (will blog it friday/ weekend when hopefully blogger will be fixed) I have moved it onto Saturday.  Unfortunately this means the fridge is emptier then Mother Hubbard's cupboard so hubby will need to be sent on a top up shop tomorrow :(.


Watch this space...............................

2 adults, 2 children, 4 weeks and £200 for food ...........week 3 update.............

This is getting soo much harder then I thought......... not helped by the fact due to spending last Saturday at the Childrens Hospital hubby come on the 'top up' shopping trip!!!  

I think the next challenge will be 2 adults, 2 children, 2 weeks and £100 for food as we seem to be spending more and more on top-ups as the weeks go on.
