Hi everyone

£58.80 spent already and we are just into March:eek: I have to do rather a large shop at the weekend but will be doing most of it in I**land as i have a £5 off £50 spend also have £4 off £20 in Mr S so will use that too.

Off to update siggy x

I'm going to make a guess that I am the only male posting in this thread, but i don't care. I like the idea. I have no idea what I usually spend a month, but im going to budget £60. I live alone so I think this is realistic. I have spent £23.62 so far as I stocked up a little last night and I expect this to last a couple of weeks. I hope I have posted this correctly. Thanks

morning all first oficial day on march and a NSD for me, that is because i'm still house bound tho, cars up for MOT tonight, i just used the last of my bread flour so we'll have enought for today and tomorrow, i'll have to lift some pancakes out of the freezer for thurs breakfast, altho other than bread and milk i'm pretty well stocked up on everything else, so i decided i'm not gonna go shopping til next week, i will go to tesco on fri for bread flour and some bananas but i'll make a point of bringing the pram, u can fit alot less in a pram than a trolley

Hi & Welcome stuckdebt :hello:

And you're not the only male on here - NickJW and de1amo are also blokes

This is addictive.......you have been warned

Hoping for a NSD here, but I may have to pop out and get some eggs as I've had mine a while now. Will see what they smell and look like when I crack them, although, they're not floating, so they should be ok.

Have a frugal day everyone

Now off to do big monthly shop - its a shame I have to do it on first of month but I cannot stretch the basics any longer, freezer is OK but store cupboard & fridge are sadly lacking in food. But I have my list & am aiming for no more than £100 from my £185 budget just leaving veg, milk, bread etc for the rest of the month. I will report back later on my success (hopefully)

So worked out my meal plan for the week, as freezer is fit to bursting as I keep buying "bargains" so have set myself a challenge to try and empty it this month and will also give me a chance to defrost it as haven't done that for a year (oops). Went to the shops before work got all fresh fruit and the minimal to go with the meal plan and hopefully that should be my first week done:T

My budget as usual will be £120.00 for the month.I am hoping to be able to cut that in half this month as my freezer is stuffed full of goodies that not only was mine but a friend donated to me as she was going to bin her bits to defrost her freezer i offered to store the bits for her but lovely lady as she is she has more money than sense bless her said if you don't take it I shall bin it.Who am I to argue for free food .So although I am setting my target at 3120 I am hoping I will be able to save at least half of that.I am going on my spring holiday in the first week of April so what I save will be extra spending mony for my hols .

Can I please be put down for £220.00 for March please? It is my eldests birthday so I am increasing my budget to account for this (this is a bit of a porky - my budget last month was £150 and I'm darned sure that I'm not spending £70 on party food for a few friends and family!! However I did go spectacularly over last month and I don't want to go over again!!! :cool:)
