Ah ha ! Found you all lol. Thank you muchly to the lovely ladies who keep this thread going :beer: .

Have already started on my Feb budget but the food won't be eaten until Feb so I can sort of get away with it . Still plan on stocking up on a few things while they're on offer :money:. Hopefully the extra £50 this month will allow for that .

Right off to get DS up for footie training - have a good weekend everyone :beer:

Just confirming I'm in this month at £200 but hoping I am well within budget as we have a wedding dress to save for now!

Hi all, Can I jump into the challenge for the first time with a budget of £180?

I got a shock this week when my friend who has 2 adults and 2 hungry kids managed to spend £110 (plus bread and milk), whilst I have been spending over £50 PER WEEK for 2 adults. This is especially bad when you consider hubby etas out 3 times a week.

So am starting gently this month and see if I can get it down a little each month. My big spend is on soft drinks for myself, as I don't drink tea/coffee and am allergic to sweetners, and can't drink plain water, so constantly on the hunt for something cheap and nice to drink.

Happy February everyone!!! Can you please put me down for £250 (me, DH and 2DS') this month - my freezer is empty so I need to do a BIG shop!!!!! I managed to be under budget for Jan but it definitely proved that "pop to the shops" is more expensive than doing the big shop and being prepared!!!!!!

Wow 4 pages already - I'll catch up later

My January total was £246.16 and setting a budget of £220 for February.

I know that's quite a drop from my usual £250 but I need to save money somewhere this month so groceries it has to be.

Best of luck everyone, K

:eek: My trip to Mr T for a couple of buts ended up costing me £14.84. Got the bits I needed plus some fruit (didnt realise how low stocks were and DS is a little fruitbat so running out is just unthinkable :rotfl:)
Also had forgotten that we werent at my parents for lunch today so bought a reduced pasta thing for DS (no need for it - shouldnt have bought it plenty in :mad:) and some pate for me (to have with HM bread for lunch ). Everything else was needed but still more than I would have liked - off to update sig..........
