Incidentally I have just me ..... and a very hungry, tall, active boyfriend (he surfs, goes to the gym and cycles) who visits often. I'm spending £50-80 a month on food and dbf gives me money towards food too.

lol they are just as they sound. Giant snails. They have a fair appetite and devour a cucumber & veg peelings each week.
I would love to say the budgeting is brilliant lol but i'm almost certain I can get it down to about half what we currently spend. If only I could talk hubby into letting me do the shopping or at least him following my menu.

Was spending £350 per month for two of us plus cat and dog before I joined the forum but now budget for £150 and try to get below that so I can reduce the budget to £100. Cooking a lot more stuff now.
