    I am going to try for £190 this month, shaving £10 off as my freezers are still pretty full and we have got a lot better with not wasting food.

    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!

    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)

    My first GC month so £400 for me please starting from 30th Aug.
    That is for a family of four and includes all toiletries, nappies, wipes etc.
    Hopefully after a month I'll be able to shave some more off in October!

    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 :T
