Woops...jut realised I didn't include the dog food i had to get from Pets@ so another £15.00 spend means I am £6 over for the week, but that will last me for the month if not a lot longer.

Thanks Weezl...can I just say that you are a legend and it was reading your 50p a day challenge that got me really into OS!

Hi everyone

Please can you put me down for £350.00 for the month.

Last month I overspent by £28.06 so am hoping to come under budget as it is a slightly shorter month.

Good luck everyone.

Please put me down for £100 for Feb. Should do it, but have an empty freezer so may not! Did well last month came in just under target

DH's fish purchase on Sat was €9, that I've added into Feb, he spent another €5 when getting papers yesterday (hash browns for brekkie for DD and himself, cereal for the week), and I had to get toothpaste for DD, and got some extra fruit and finally found karvol capsules (there's a shortage here at present) so got 3 trays, as I went into work this morning (I was getting bread, fruit and orange juice for work anyway), so another €20 there (well, €19.91).

I had forgotten DH is away most of the week (so only DD and I for 3 dinners) so I will do other things like fried egg and waffles, and making the fresh pasta stretch to 3 dinners for me, instead.

Need to get bread and milk on the way home (easiest rather than trying to keep milk cold at work) but otherwise nothing until next weekend.

Very pleased this month as I have done a lot of shopping from the indoor food cupboards and freezer so I have cash left over .Part of which will go towards my Christmas money stashalong with 'sistercas £1.00 a day monthly challenge', and part towards my summer holiday.Start again tomorrow with £120.00 for February going into to my seperate food purse.
keep up the good work gang.
I have stayed away from the supermarkets this month as well and only bought what was absolutely essential

Hi guys, can I join? Been watching the OS challenges for a while now and need to make some DRASTIC changes. I have £180 to do me until I get paid again on the 25th Feb. There's 2 adults, 2 teenagers, 3 cats and a guinea pig!
