Hi all,
Just back from holiday and have done the sums for July - well over our target at £293.11. DH says the holiday groceries should go under our holiday budget: fair enough, but the problem is, we never set a holiday budget!So to come clean I've included everything everything in the July total.
Good news is, a fresh batch of Twink's hobnobs kept us going for well over a week... and DH says he approves of the more home baking! :T
Now off to the August thread....
safMarch GC: £147.75/£180 groceries + £36.75/£50 meals out
February: £163.19/£180 + £66.14/£50 monthly budget for eating out Total £229.33/£230 :j
January: £170.01/£1700 -
I'm clocking in at £247.18 :eek: . Waaaaaaaaay over my budget of £170. I hadn't budgeted for a party which was the main thing, but also I was ill for the best part of 2 weeks and the freezer wasn't brimming with HM ready made meals
like it usually is, so I had an expensive Tesco.com delivery containing ready made ding ding meals
. Lesson learned!
