Thanks... I need a wahing liquid for the w/m, I seen Bold in Asda for £4.00 (the bigger one, 24 washes) - Bold 2in1 is what I normally use.

I also need shamppo/conditioner (separate, bleached hair, need a separate conditioner), normally get them in £ shop but need 2 of each for a month as wash my hair every 2 days = so that is £4.00 at £1.00 per bottle each. Need bathroom cleaner so another £1.00. Black bags £1.00So that is a TENNER gone already :eek::eek::eek:

Hi All

Can i join for this month please, with a budget of 250pounds.

Should be able to do it for less as have massively stocked cupboards and freezers. But need to stop buying whoopsies!

Thanks.

Give the coupons to the delivery driver then they get credited to your account.

Still on August thread until the 31st, but just popping on to discuss budget for September. Should come in under for August, think OH is owed £12 for one rubbish he bought but that still leaves enough for milk if needed

My budget was £230 for a four weekend month. Sept has five weekends but we're on holiday for a week (separate budget), so I have no idea where to set the budget. Still want to continue slowly reducing, but it is getting harder to stick within budget and yet also a) maintain buying lots of fresh fruit & veg b) mostly buy ethical meat and c) keep OH happy! None of these considerations are really negotiable, but I'm sure that there's still more I can do by reducing waste etc. Fingers crossed!

I'm thinking maybe a budget of £175 in Sept, which I'll then increase in Oct after my holiday. Almost resenting my holiday as its making my GC complicated lol!

A NS day today cooked a chicken in the slow cooker and have done a chicken dinner from it, sweet and sour chicken, chicken tikka massala from a tezco half price 2kg chicken £4 (current offer) also had 2 x value mince 800g each (just need to drain the fat off after you dry fry but not down the plug, husband enjoyed cleaning out the u bend thing ha ha) with the mince ive made mince stew and dumplings, bolognaise, chilli con carne, and shepherds pie all in the freezer so 7 meals for 4 made from £8.80 of meat really impressed with myself x

Not such a good start With kids off pester power has led to ice cream fenzy, a small shop in W8-flower ended up not so small and a lack of planning, due in part to feeling under the weather,has led to a takeaway today. So damage so far is £78 /350
I am off now to do what I should have done earlier - write a meal plan
