Hi all, I rarely post but follow this by myself and it deffo keeps me on track! Managed on £41.59 in April as I had a good stock in but can you put me down for my usual £60 for May. Thanks.
That's for me and doesn't include, cleaning, toiletries and household stuff, just food at home.

Trim_my_budget

Can I join for May please? Am really struggling with food budget at the moment. Have tried writing everything down etc and sticking to an amount but keep going into the next months money!:mad: Can you put me down for £350 for May please and I will do my best! thanks:(

Payday today :j so I've popped on to update, and declare for this month: £105.72 from my £100 target. I'm pretty happy with that.

Thinking about a target next month, I've looked back at all my previous ones and although I've been close to target most months I've never actually met it. Maybe this is an example of my attitude to life :rotfl: I'll go back to £150 for May please - might be tight because there are 5 Thursdays (shopping day is Thursday) but I'll give it a go!

Good luck all - well done to everyone meeting their targets, or at least making progress in reducing spends, even if you haven't quite got to where you'd like to be yet :T

Had my A$da delivery today and it came to £45.31. My quick shop in MrT's came to £9.90 yesterday, though £2 of that was a meal deal as I forgot to put bread in the breadmaker and was peckish plus the other quick shop I did for sandwich and breakfast stuff which came to £44.47. So that is a spend of £99.68 already on not a lot/ Really need to reign myself in or I will overspend this month.

Had a lovely dinner last night. I did sweet chilli sausages as per Hippeechiq's recipe in the collection on here. Nom! nom! nom! served with mash and caramalized onions.

It's Motherships brainchild tigerfeet, so I think she'd be better at explaining it to you than I

I'll see if she spots and responds to this post in the next couple of days, if not I'll try then. DD has crashed today after her run of a good few days. And because she had the "high", the "low" has hit her that much harder, which means I've done a lot of talking/listening/soothing/reassuring and comforting in an effort to lift her out of it, or at least trying to stop her going further down - with little success unfortunately, so am feeling a bit brain dead at the mo.

A NSD here today, but forgot to add £1 to my total for ice cream I bought yesterday, so now off to update siggy.

Cheers m'dear much appreciated.

An absolutely eye watering £52.52 spent today in Mr S

I stuck to my list but then bought some dog food and chews and biscuits then some half price prawns and a 80p Lindt easter bunny ad £1 of sweets. Also spent £9.05 in the fish market on 2 sea bass and a masssive mackeral

£61.57

Better not go shopping next weekend then to catch back up for the month - however will probably need some fruit and lunch stuff. Going to be tight for May but must keep reminding myself how much I have in

... :rotfl:

Thanks all for your kindness but I'm not in hospital today and haven't had a reschedule yet. I hope to delay it now for a few months.

I'll declare the month end later in the day. Back out to the sun in the garden now!

All the best,
Spigs
