Managed under budget with quite a few NSD but had to work away a lot so not a true/normal month, so won't rely on this one!

Morning!

Just reporting in with yesterdays spends of £42.04 for dog food. I found a great website that delivered with 48 hours and was SOOO cheap compared to the pet shop so I bought 5 months worth of dog food. I've decided to split this over 5 months so that works out at £8.40 per month so that is going on this months budget.

If anyone wants the website details, let me know and I'll PM you -don't think it will let me on here? They do all sorts, not just food and flea treatment etc is good value too!

Thanks
Claire

Visited no less than 3 supermarkets (must have time on my hands) and Bull Ring market for lovely fresh (& cheap) fruit and veg

8.35 (tesco value + offers) + 4.40 (bull ring) + 6.90 (another tesco!) + 7.26 (aldi) = 2 people fed for a week = £27.91 (2 people for one week)

Budget £100
Spent so far this month:: £82.31 (we're gonna make it :j)

Popping in to report my final figure for January as

£349.80

I have cheated a little bit though because I was only monitroing from 3rd January. I need to do it 27th to 27th to fit in with payday.

On the plus side I have managed to stock up on LOADS of non pershables (thanks AF!) so I'm hoping for a lower spend in Feb.

Hi Claire, you can post a link as long as it is not a site you have any personal link to. I use a couple of different pet sites, last time though Amazon was cheapest so well worth shopping round.
