Declaring at €194.96 for January....the overspend paid for reduced butter which will see us out until about May and other bits and pieces which will reduce February's spend

Declaring January on £103.23 out of my £108.50 budget, so an underspend of £5.27 :T

Of that total figure £54.08 was spent in real shops, and £49.15 has been moved into savings as it was food from my personal pre 1/1/2012 food mountain

Total could have been a lot lower if I hadn't kept reaching for treats, which amounted to £20.82 from stock and £4.08 from stores, so £24.90 - or just over 24% - of my monthly spend :eek:
And I still have £11.80 of goods purchased from real shops that I've not opened/started using, so those items could really have waited until February !!!

I had 19 complete NSDs in January, but 22 NSDs for groceries (1 day was just a car park fee, 1 was just a direct debit, and 1 was a d/debit plus a couple of non-food kitchen items)

Morning all,
I finished with 82p left in my grocery account - so a spend of £249. 18:beer:
Glad to have come in under budget for once (just!);)

I have completely lost my way this month, I've had the flu so things have gone pear shaped!

Nobody has been keeping count of any spending so I'm afraid I'll have to opt out of the January total!

I'm going to be more of a lurker in Feb and then hopefully be part of things from March again!

Morning all:hello:
Still haven`t declared total for january, as i`m waiting for the butchers bill, but I know i`m way over:eek::eek: must try harder for Feb.
I`m going to try for £4oo once again, so fingers crossed. Will be over to the february challenge in a couple of days, once i`ve declared my total.

Well had a couple of big spends of 40.52 & 54.45 at AF, so a lot more than i was hoping to spend this month, but as i am on annual i am hoping i can make this up, as i have enough laundry stuff to last a year and a pantry stuffed to bursting. I would like to declare ANNUAL £180.85 for January. Is it possible to put this total next to my name, instead of putting me down for another 1200. Thanks to everyone who works to keep this thread going.
