    Evening all, hope everyone is ok. I haven't had a chance to read through the posts. Did my last shop of the month today at Mr S. Normally do Mr T, but had a voucher. Spent £88.50 :eek:, but did stock up on meat, and had to get laundry stuff and toiletries. So I have gone over this month :(. Did do a couple of naughty just pop to co-op shops which didn't help :o. Must try harder next month. £323.14/£260.00, so an overspend of £63.14 All in all though a vast improvement to previous grocery spends.
    MFW 142- Oct 1999 £55,0000, Jul 2013 £27,593.17 Oct 2013 £26,531, Dec 2014 £22,600, Dec 2015 £20,190, Jan 2016 £19,944.19 Mar 2017 £16,944.76 Decluttered 207/2018

    Best wishes coxy

    Few nsd here but need a small milk shop today. And nappy bags. Should be well under budget.

    ETA Ended up spending £23.30 so have come in 70p under budget :eek: but got some meat on offer, butter, yoghurts, milk, 4 packs of nappy bags and some cheese.

    My plan now is 7 NSDs, yikes!

    Have been very slack keeping up with the thread and my own receipts, so need to add in last weekend's grocery shop and a top up from yesterday £34.87 and £4.09 respectively. Bringing me over at £212.71/£200 and this weekend's shop still to go :(

    Hope everyone else has done better than me, I know a lot of you will already have migrated to October.
