July is a holiday month and also report writing month so I've decided not to have any real challenges apart from making up a menu plan and taking enough food away with us to make sure we stick to the grocery budget and helping MrShoestring lose the rest of the weight he has put on. So far the guidelines from the "4 Pillars" book are working and he is losing weight, which is great. He also does not feel deprived and is eating plenty, so fingers crossed this is a permanent change ! It's not expensive either as the health eating plan is based around vegetables and we have plenty of those !
So far this month I have only spent £55 on groceries and that includes all sorts of pre-packed stuff for our holiday which I would not normally buy. This should give us some wriggle room when we travel to Scandanavia at the end of the month, just as well as the price of a lettuce is around £2.50 !
How about you, are you doing any challenges for July ? The Frugalwoods are hosting an Ultra-frugal month challenge if you want to pop over and see what that is all about !
