Hi
I really got lost last month and spent £280, over by 40 quids!!!
however I have got a frezzer groaning with food,(am doing a full inventory today) so im going for £240 again this month, ive now got a spread sheet set up to log all spends correctly.
hopefully october will be a better month.

I'll do this too if no one minds me popping my newbie head in

I'd like to start on the 27th September as thats my payday and will be easier to manage finances from there (been a hectic month with regards to money).

So I will give myself a budget of £300

Hi de hi all,

We're starting October early due to a change in management... Mr Maitane is now planning, shopping and cooking because he wants to have a crack at the money saving his way and then we'll reassess next month and take the best from each approach. :beer: Score!

We were a little over (I still need to confirm by exactly how much) for September so we'll go higher this month but hopefully do a bit better.

So, we're starting from yesterday (21/9) and would you be so kind as to put us down for £120 for the two of us (including the Mr with hollow legs) - food, household and all.

Thanks and good luck to all this month!

H guys,

Wow. Time Flies. I have just popped a post on the September thread and then saw this one. I must be getting old.

Hope you are all well and having a fab weekend.

Off to take the sprogs to football now. They will be too stuffed to run around the field now though.

:wave: Hi, hope it's ok if I join!

I won't start until the 1st of October, but if I could be put down for £80 that would be great Budget is for 2 adults and a cat, also to include any food/drinks bought out and also any household items that we usually buy with groceries. Thank you

Helen Ive deleted your list as Coxy has now posted one (just in case you wonder why( , Im just waiting on her putting it in the post following Rosies. Once that's done, we're all sorted and it's dead easy from now!!!!!

Hello!
Please can you put me down for £50 starting October 1st! This is just for one adult.

September only included food, so now I'm going to try with all other householdy bits included!

Hi, can you put me down for £150 please. I had budgeted £120 for September but failed miserably so have now decided to reduce the budget by £10 each month till we reach £120 as currently we have been spending £160 for two adults.

This month will start tomorrow and finish on 22nd Oct
