    NSD today from January money but found a lovely butcher in a neighbouring town so I have spent £15 of February money. The meat is in the freezer and won't be used until Friday or later when February starts for me.
    Mortgage and Debt free but need to increase savings pot. :think:

    Hi :wave:

    I hope everyone is well. Please can TheThriftyScrumpers declare for Jan at £375.19. Many, many thanks to all who run the thread. £25.19 over budget this month but I am comfortable with this as the total includes £61 worth of Donald Russell meat which will be used over the coming months. I did wonder whether to split the cost over the next couple of months but think this will confuse me as not sure how long it will last (should be ages) so I am going to take the hit in Jan. See you all on the Feb thread.
