Spent another €23.23 today, total spend to date is €40.77, leaving me with just over €5.54 per day for the rest of of the month...some DSDs needed badly I'm sure.

Please put TheBees down for £400 in September please. We actually managed £400 in August and came in on target for the first time in years!!!:j

Back to school this week so hope we can be organised and keep in control of the food budget. DH and I are both doing Weight Watchers so eating quite a bit of fruit and veg which is running low but don't really want to go in a supermarket or shop until next weekend if I can help it.

Good luck all.

So I have sorted a budget, and have given us £200 for the remainder of September, starting immediately

I have just been to the "use it up, don't throw it in the bin" thread (can't link as a newbie ), and using what is currently in the fridge/freezer/cupboards, have managed to concoct a meal plan, that will completely feed us (healthily) until Saturday! Not bad considering I have been pleading "mother hubbard" all week

spent £15.25 in te$co today then oh wanted ice cream and kept going on and on, til mil said she'd pay so i had to give in so another £6.10 on icecream :eek:

lol, well i don't think it would fit in a car if it was all loo roll. We bought some from Farmfoods on Thursday. They have Nicky Elite 9 rolls @ 2 packs for £4, thats 18 rolls, and its really thick and nicely scented. Oh, listen to me, I sound just like an advert.

I went to Mr A's on Saturday and spent £37.17. I did get a reasonable amount of food for that.
