Declaring at £354.72 out of £416. (averaged out of annual budget) Cupboards and freezer chocabloc so pleased with that!:):):)
Now I "should" work on somemeal plans! I bought 54 toilet rolls today in Farmfoods along with 8 rolls of kitchen roll. That should last yonks!
Future shopping is planned in the new Asda opening up next week by my new place of employment(not Asda)which is close by. so ~I earn a days pay then pop up the road and spend the lot I guess!:D

Hi All,

Just popping on to declare at £270.19 out of a budget of £270. :mad: I know it's not a lot but I do so hate going into the red.

Ah well, onwards and upwards to November. See you all there.

All the best,
Spigs

Belatedly declaring at £105.27 [target was £100] and 15 NSDs [target was - yay! - 15].

I spent £4.51 on [whoopsied] bagels and fresh veg on the way home last night that will all be used in November, but keeping it simple: if it was spent in October, it gets logged for October.

I've gone a bit over budget, but I'm happy with the total, as there was a small attack of stocking up on bargain frozen stuff, so we're well set with Linda M sausages and frozen diced onions for the next month or two [or three or four, in the case of the onions :rotfl:]

See you in the new thread in a few minutes

Morning all

Another month over

Final total for October for me is £307.67. A good saving for me but I could have done better. Will definitely go for it this month coming in am now going to reduce my monthly aim to £350 instead of £400.

All the best for November and thank you to all who help run this thread. It is so very much appreciated

I keep saying I am going to do online shoping in future but I must now see the fact that I like going to the shops and online you don't get the woopsies so no thrill! On;ine also not parting with real cash which is easier to keep track of than plastic. Now I could list the benefits of online shopping also but I thought Id let you know you are not in the least bit odd!:T:A

:DThanks Angela .....

morning all, just reporting a total spend of £227.29, so £2.29 over budget. I was £6ish under spend last month so over the last two months I have done this challenge I am under budget (just!)
Not bad for 5 of us!!!!

Had a NSD yesterday, so declaring £360.97 for October, that is £10.97 over budget, but as that included DS2's birthday, I am happy with that.
