Sorry I've been missing in action for far too long, won't go into details but I have still been keeping a note of spends so I'm declaring £247.35 for March, please put me down for £250 for April. See you on the April GC.;)
"WASTE NOT, WANT NOT!"
GC for OH, myself, DD18 & DD16 includes Toiletries, cleaning stuff & Food.
please can i declair £350.49 for march. i dont beleive for a minute that i have saved £100 to be honest, if i have i would like to know where its gone. this month we have
eaten out x3 (dd2 birthday and 2 omg no food in the house moments)
take away x2 (on the way home from racing because i didnt make pack lunches)
next month i will keep the same budget because i have 3 birthdays and nothing in so need to stock up
I am going to go over & fail on the last day! Just realised that we do not have enough sausages for the dinner of sausages & mash tonight. Oh well, it should only be over by pennies.
Hi everyone....didn't manage to hit budget again this month but do think am getting better on meal planning and sticking to them. Declaring £225.36 for March so £25.36 overbudget....will try again for £200.00 in April please...thanks!
Well turned out that I didn't actually have enough potatoes or sausages for dinner tonight so didn't do very well did I on my second attempt at a meal plan this week?! So with both of those, plus 4 whoopsied parsnips for 23p, I am now over my budget again! Plus, the bag of potatoes were VERY small & will need some more tomorrow!
Mind you I did feel a bit better earlier about the huge amount we spend on food every month in this household. I went to see a friend who has 4 children and she reckons that they easily spend £600 plus on food etc every month. Needless to say I passed on lots of the tips that I have learnt on here even if admittedly, I don't put them all into practice myself a lot of the time!

Another £13.11 spent today and I'll still have to buy some more bread as I hadn't noticed that our brown loaf was mouldy!
Declaring another spend of £40.24. So MrsM could you record a spend of £681.30 to date from an annual budget of £2700.
Good luck everyone.
