Everything is pretty much budgeted for with us, food is £250 a month. I have an allowance of £30 a week which covers extras like entertainment, things for the kids and anything else that might crop up. We work a really tight system because we have no choice!0

About 35% of net salary isn't accounted for by rent, council tax, utilities and food. I don't have to buy petrol as I don't have a car; I don't earn enough to run one.
