-
Welcome to the challenge focus888. You are No. 16Hi, please can I join as well? I was thinking just yesterday this year i want to keep a record of how much I spend daily/monthly/annually in 2017. I wanted to do this at the end of 2015 but never did it. Defo want to start this tomo
I wont be including any bills or fixed expenses like internet. Just on my daily spending, which is normally grocery/toileties other odd bits here and there which has definitely gone out of hand this last few years. Hopefully this challenge will help me realise where I am going wrong. I know i do spend alot on junk food which has to stop especially as i also want to slim down in 2017. Theres alot i want to do

Hi, could I join you all please? We spent around £9000 in total last year. But I lost track of the figures a bit. Hopefully if I record them here I'll do better. So far have spent £24.99. £10 for OH's birthday present. £5 on chocolates and crackers for next Christmas, ( well hidden so won't be touched till then), £1 on dog treats, and £10.99 on milk, eggs, ( I think our hens are on strike,) and reduced stewing steak for the freezer. Good luck everyone. M2m.Frugal Living Challenge 2023.
Trying to live on only £2640 for the year for most meals for seven people. Now only feeding, mostly, two. New total £1860.

I have set myself a £150 per week budget (to include everything, eating out, food/groceries, clothing etc etc) and I now have only £15.24 to last until Friday! eek!
