Total for november was £111.99 so £11.99 over but cupboards are groaning under the weight of food inc things for xmas so I must be able to do it in December!!
December's budget is £100 again inc any extras for xmas of which I have spent £15.99 on puppy pads and £1.20 on a gooey chocolate brownie:eek: so £17.19 altogether.
not sure if this thread is still going so will post it on the dec challenge when I find it, aswell.
Make £10 a day in Oct £235.88/£260:D NSD's in OCT 1/15
However I do have plenty of meat in freezer so will have to repeat the mantra to myself " dont buy meant, only veg " for December !
Interesting for my first month too £70 is about what I thought I spent most months, so will strat trying to whittle this away now. Right off to pledge on the December board.

November GC: £55.87/£100
Had a budget of £81, and managed to spend a staggering £224.40 which is the figure I need to declare :eek:
However, £145 of this was stocking up on stuff for next year (from App F00ds, BBFL, and Mr T with their baking offers plus a lot of other long-life items as I had a £6 off £40 spend voucher). So I only spent £79.40 on 'general' grocery spends, which also included an unusually high amount of tinned veg and tea bags due to the snow forecasts.
As a whole over the month, my £224.40 bought me goods worth £1029.06. And the £145 spent on stockpile goodies got me items worth £901.59
