    I would like to join in this challenge please. I have a Clubcard Plus account loaded with £400 each month but spend an additional £30 each week on milk etc. Our household is Myself, DH, 3 teenagers and 2 in KS1. The teenage boys eat me out of house and home and get through 6 pints of organic milk a day.

    I am going to try to stick to a £550 budget for this month.

    Hello,

    Please can I join for March. I've kind of been doing it on my own for Jan/Feb and not getting on too great!

    Please put me down for £200. That's for 2 of us. I've already spent £120 on a theoretical online shop to be delivered next week but that should cover the whole months basics. After that its just a fresh shop.

    Cheers

    ZC
