Aril

Can I officiallly declare that I went over by 49p..boo hiss:D I put it down to the 4 pats of butter I stockpiled from Mr A and having to buy decent tea bags which set me back nearly £6 [I thought I'd go down a brand and try the Mr T value ones...not an experiment I shall be repeating with that particular product:rotfl::rotfl:

toottifrootti

I am declaring at £94.71 - £5.29 under target!!
need to go find the march thread now!!

Baileys_Babe

I am declaring at £316.02 this is a massive over spend.

This was due to a bulk order arriving this week not next as I had anticipated. I'm not very worried by this as I have no plans for a bulk shop for March and maybe not April depending how things go. We have enough bread flour for about 4 months, :rotfl:

angelatgraceland

Well Ive done my totals and Ive got £162.03 left from Jan and Feb combined!!! I put a lot of this sucess down to lots of stockpiling of offers/bulk cooking/whoopsies and vouchers(more than ever before)
I set a very realistic budget as it includes a lot of things and basically there are 5 adults her-my 15 yr old eats like a horse!S0-Im very pleased with everything.

I shall declare at £154which is substantially over my budget of £80 but as I've been doing some restocking I'm not worried, I'm really keeping an eye on the annual figure

See you all on the March thread

Flat_Eric

I am declaring for February in the grand and horrific sum of £622.37!

A grand overspend of £462.81. :eek:

Hmmm clearly I have a lot of work to do. I seem to have gone back to old habits and the amount I have declared is from the receipts I can find - I dont think there are any others but you never know.....

Budget for March as mentioned previously is £100

I am shocked to be honest at my spend for February because if I didnt spend so much, just think what I could do with that money !

I must go back to writing weekly menu plans and stick with them - not change them the next day and still not follow it!

Im determined this month. The only things I shall allow myself to buy will be loo roll, cat food, milk, eggs, potatoes and bread.

fallen_angel_shelley

I'm declaring £191.17p for februarys GC. I'm not sure what to set my budget at for March because my fridge/frezzer should be here by the 17th:j and I will need to stock it up with lots of goodies:rolleyes: and stuff for batch cooking.
