Just back from Te$co and have my first June spend of £28.75. It was quite a lot of stuff as I tried to stick to offers and also used my coupons, before offers/coupons it would have been £49.79 so I'm quite happy.

Off to update sig.

Hi, DH does not get paid until Tuesday so I will start the challenge from then. Could you please put me down for £200 again. It is going to be a costly month with several birthdays.

Thanks to Pink, Rosie and Mrs M, and everyone else for the support as always. Please put me down for £450 for June

Staying out of the shops is really working but I need to take it further.
Also the once a month home delivery for pets, bread and essentials, combined with the weekly veg box so there is only milk, fruit, and wine/fags on the co-op drop in list so I ordered a case of wine, and a months worth of tobacco to reduce the risk of impulse buys. Wine n fags come out of DH's budget, but I buy other stuff when I am in so this should help.

I still have a freezer full of chickens

First spend of June of £32.45. I went to Mr T's this morning and then to Mr S's this afternoon.

I received a £4 off a £20 shop mailing last week from Sainsburys but I didn't think I would spend £20 so left it at home ..... I spent £23 but the cashier said to bring my coupon in next time and they would give me the £4 back.

We are now well stocked up, the fridge, freezer and cupboards are all fit to bursting !

:wave:Already four days in to the June challenge and have had two no spend days. Thursday and today spent a total of £31.88
Got most items in until Thursday and have meal planned until then as well.
Have used some more apple out of the freezer for a crumble tomorrow and cooked it today at same time as piece of ham. Can always be heated up in microwave tomorrow.
Good luck everybody for June.
