    Went over a bit this month. Finished up about £205 22p I think. Still plenty in to start the new month so perhaps that will be better.
    Mortgage and Debt free but need to increase savings pot. :think:

    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! :o 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....

    March 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/£170
  • 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 :o like it usually is, so I had an expensive Tesco.com delivery containing ready made ding ding meals :o:o . Lesson learned!
  • Sorry coming to this a bit late but i'm declaring £124 for July which is well under budget.
  • Well I managed to stay within budget which surprised me! Got a tenner left over! I will keep to same budget next month but it will be a 5 week month for me.
    Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults
