I'll say £200 for September. We'll be on holiday until the 7th, and my storecupboard and Christmas box shouldn't need anything much.
See you in a few weeks!Bossymoo

I'm still posting in Aug ATM, but my new month starts on fri (24th) this time and I don't think I will need anything before then!
Budget for this month is £300
That's shaving £75 off Aug (well more coz I've overspent by a tiny amount) and will include all eating out (it didn't last month). I know it seems a huge cut but since school is back here there wont be the need for as much eating out anyway. And I simply do not have the spare cash this month so it will have to do!
That's for 2 adults and 3 kids (ages5-7)No more unnecessary toiletries Feb 2014 INS: 24 UU: 13. Mar 2014. INS: lost count, naughty step for me! UU: 80 -

Hi all,
Would love to join and see if we can save some pennies and get more organised this month. Our budget will be £100 for Sept (28th-28th) for the 2 of us and includes food, toiletries, cleaning products and fresh veg for our bunnies
Trying to live a good life on little money :T0
