Thankfully not too much spending to report this week……
I bought a few groceries on Monday, which took my December grocery spending to £262.21. Over budget for the month (mainly due to stockpiling coffee), but not too bad considering the extra family I’ve been feeding over the holiday period.
******
I then went shopping today……which will be included in January’s budget as I’ve already closed down December 
I bought mainly fruit, veggies, chicken and cake 
Spent: £26.63
Annual grocery goal: £288.84 // £2,000 (December to November inc)
******
And finally added to my Sealed Pot this week:
- £2.37 – From my purse
- £6.00 – From winning gift lottery scratch cards

PS. One more day until the start of the New Year (and the start of Carla’s No/Low Spend Challenge). I can’t wait. I need to get my frugal head on and really focus on attacking that mortgage!
I’m with you – can’t wait to start the new year & new challenges! And, looks like you got all of the essentials at the store. Including cake.
Lol yes, the kids requested doughnuts (!!) for breakfast
I love fruits and veggies, so much. Have a great New Years!
Happy New Year Cassi!
I have just started a no spend month. I was going to start in January but with a house full of Christmas leftovers it made sense to just start. I have $117.00 to keep us going until the end of January. My goal for the month is to raise the minimum balance in my chequing account to $1,000.00 to eliminate banking fees.
Good luck and I will be checking back to see how you are fairing. I found your blog on Wisebread.
Hi Jane and thanks for stopping by
