    Hello I'm in please!

    £330


    For 2 adults, and 1 step kid half the week. That includes everything, food, drink, cleaning stuff, contact lens stuff, loo roll etc.

    Been doing slimming world and spending far too much on expensive fruit and veg so need to concentrate the mind.

    Have done a huge sainsbug shop but combined with OH going fishing and catching 10 mackerel I think we just need fruit veg and milk for the rest of this month.

    Hello, this is my first monthly challenge, I'v been watching and reading all your posts for a couple of months and have finally had the willpower to join in,I'm going to do food and petrol challenge in August and am setting my first budget for £350 as I don't have a clue what I spend and am quite ashamed to admit that It may seem quite a lot just for two people and a cat on a day to day basis but I have frequent visits from son who works quite close and often pops in to raid fridge on a lunch time and grandchildren who we have to stay about 6 -7 days a month. A also going to try for 8 NSDs. I am quite excited, I love a challenge!!!

    Good morning,

    I posted this months amount on the July thread, but just to make sure I will post it here too. Please can you put me down for

    £150 this is for everything for 2 adults and two greedy boys, one a teen with hollow legs! I did an inventory last night of all foodstuffs in the house- wow I did'nt realise I had soooo much food! I'm hoping to spend very little of the budget this month and what's left will be put into savings.

    Good luck everybody
