Oops.....£2.51 in the corner shop. It was the cats' fault, if they hadn't eaten all their biscuits I would never have gone over there :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone

I would like to join again, Nov 09 was the last time I did this and since then have been spending stupid money. Between us we have been spending at least £300 and sometimes £400 a month which we cannot sustain and I honestly don't understand how we spend so much. My figure will seem huge to some of you but I will not reduce it too much otherwise it will most probably lead to failure.

My month will run from the 19th (pay day), so I would like to start today as my October Challenge. MrsM, could you please put me down for £250.00.

There is me, OH, 1 fussy old cat and 2 gerbils. This will cover all food, drink, toiletries, cleaning and pet food.

Thanks

When I download a proper program, I'd like to create something (I wont say spreadsheet, as I don't know how to do a spreadsheet) where I list all the months of the year, all the items I buy and the price of each item listed under each month...................it'll give me something to whinge about if nothing else..........I really need to get out more :rotfl:

When you get the software downloaded, give me a shout. There seem to be quite a few MSE members with a copy of my spreadsheet, as I offered to share it/pass it around at the start of this year

Quick update, managed minimal spending at the weekend, L!dls and M0rrrisons - stocked up a little on flour, treated myself to a bag of satsumas (£1) and a few grapes (97p) - I go for weeks not eating enough fruit till I remember!

NSD yesterday after having to get some packup bits on Monday night - although it did mean I spotted a nice kilo of 'posh' spuds reduced to 39p to top up my waning potato stocks.

All I need to buy this weekend is pound of mince, milk and some kind of bread product, so I think I can afford to treat OH to a roast chicken dinner on Saturday and bring the leftovers back for lunches next week. :j
