Aril

Hello please can you put me down for £195 for February Thanks to all the kind people who work so hard to keep the thread up to date!

My budget started from 22 Jan and I have spent over half my budget However, I have enough:-

washing powder, conditioner, and toiletries for the month
cereal for the month
food for main meals to last till 15 Feb (leaving only 10 days more to get food for - before payday)

So now my freezer is jam packed - I think I only need to get milk, bread and fresh fruit and veg for the next couple of weeks (oh and Bisto). That will also give me a chance to look out for yellow stickered items too

Hoping I'll finally be able to come in under budget

Trying for £300 for the three of us. Reducing by £50 this month despite failing last month.......but it is a short month.

Thanks

I was so pleased with how I did on this challenge in September and October. November got off to a reasonably good start, and then there was a family crisis that has kept me fully occupied for the last couple of months. But I'm back on the wagon for February.

I need to up my weekly spend because I've got more people in the house for more of the week than I used to, so please put me down for £60 pw and £40 for extras (like eating out or having people round). So could you put me down for £240 please Mrs M? I'm having an extra target of keeping my spending diary up to date for the whole month.

Hi I have spent £340 from my annual budget, but I have loads of meat in the freezer and tins/packets in the store cupboard thanks to approved foods.

My online shop arrived today so that's £46.26 off this month's budget! On the plus side I now have enough shampoo and fabric conditioner to last at least three months, and I ended up with an extra muller rice for free in my shopping. I've developed a bit of a thing for muller rice recently, which is a bit of an expensive habit at 54p per pot!
