    Just spent £35 on a fruit, veg, bread , milk top up shop. Starting June with a good stock and full fridge/freezers.

    I paid back the 2nd purse £3 per day for 20 days to restock the food we ate from the freezer.

    I think £125 for /June is a more realistic figure. I'm always slightly over.

    Thank you for your support and encouragement, not been on much this month , been trying to catch up with my planting. Still waiting on plants to arrive, another week should do it if they all come soon. Everything is droont up here lol, including me, I've been soaked so many times.

    OOPS! forgot to add my £10 to the 2nd purse.
    1st Purse £114.19 Monthly GB
    2nd Purse ££100

    Morning

    I would like to declare for May at £425.10 a slightly maddening 10p over:mad:.
    However, some treats ended up in the shopping budget which they shouldn't have done so it's my own fault for not being more diligent! I will be next month.
    I also got £19 of Co-op vouchers the other day which saved my skin so all in all I'm very happy with this.

    See you in June!
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    Can I declare at £115 please. Completely lost track of the actual amount due to Ofsted at school and other things going on. However I have £5 left in my "Shopping Wallet" so I know I didn't overspend at least.
