    I'm in, I've miss calculated the budget (actual DH forgot to tell me hes spent an extra £100) so we have next to nothing for food till he gets paid on the 20th. Aim to only buy milk, veg, yogurt and eggs.

    Yep Im up for this, i havent done anything like this for far too long, i dont even know whats in my freezer (ive let things slip whilst sorting my dmp out)

    This month, i only want to buy milk, veg and cat food. I know i have flour and things to make bread if i want to so fingers crossed i could save £££ this month off my food bill.

    My month will start tomorrow as thats payday if thats ok.

    yep I'm in this month, well 2 weeks actually as we go on holiday on the 15th for 2 weeks, so we could use the extra money for that. Freezer and cupboards are stuffed full. I keep trying to use up stuff but somehow it doesn't get any less. (Think I must be sleepwalking to asda). I will need some space for the christmas goodies soon. But I found 3 full packs of 50 sausage rolls from last christmas in the bottom of the freezer!!! Do you think they will be ok?

    I'm in as well :)
    Have just spent half-term cooking and baking for the freezer, so hopefully will only be eggs, milk and fresh veg.
    Only trouble is.... I promised to do this a few months back and then kept seeing lots of offers... eeek!
    You're really going to have to nag me this month people!!!
    Good Luck everyone!
