Sistercas - great bargains there, handy to know as I 'll be going there myself on Friday. Lurpak is a great deal! That's my butter of choice!:)

Mrs M - can you pls put me down for £170 for Oct? It's a five weeker so that will be a challenge - let's see if I can do it!!!;)

Hey all £6.90 spend in lidl today. Was awful and got a lasagna for dinner, some bread, pink lemonade, mince pies and some crisps. I know it's awful but I had some bad news today so don't really have the energy to cook. At least I can put that on and can feed me a little bit.

Have a good day all hopefully you are all doing ok

Afternoon all. Chilly here - and drizzly. Am so-oo tempted to put the heating on for a few hours tonight (DD was complaining of the cold last night, as was DS1) WIll get some washing dry then, too

Anyway, back to GC. Overspent - £359.54 against reduced budget of £350, so am very pleased. Had 13 NSDs too - and am definitely not going shopping until Friday at the earliest, as have loads of f&v, bread & milk.

However, am going back to £450 for October please Includes DH's birthday and half term (we are off to Scotland but self catering, so will take some food) Also want to get some Xmas bits in (chocs, fruit & alcohol for cake making) Ideally I'd like to come in close to £400, but we shall see!

Went to Sainsburys yesterday for Sunday paper (inc in above) and got there for some great meat reductions. As they aren't being used until Oct I shall include them for then, as there was quite a few...:p just need to work out the total after I've taken off the paper, some clothes and a couple of pressies...

Good luck to those still continuing! See you all over on October very soon!

Could you be so kind as to put me down £130 for October Please

Spent €22.37 to day so declaring at €189.60 will not go to a shop again before Friday.

October challenge will be €190 again please Mrs MC, need to start the stockpile for that time in December and make the cake and pudding.

Good luck everybody.
