Posting quick spends will read later Found YS tiger prawns at work 75p down from £3 will use them in the planned spring rolls on saturday. Spent £6.63 yesterday and £17.67 today. Went to Aldi for the first time today and bought quite a few things on my list that were cheaper, pretty pleased with what I got. Hoping to have only fruit, milk and bread spends for the rest of this week.

Hi Folks.

Can I join for February please??? My budget for 1st Feb- 28th Feb is €600 (ROI Mse'er!). That's for 2 adults, 3 kids, 1 dog and 2 fat cats! It includes all spending on food, household, petfood and toiletries.

It's approximately £500 sterling and everything costs a wee bit more here than in UK so I don't think I'll come in any lower but here's hoping!

Thanks - I don't need it for bread but meat.

Yes I only use mine for meat as I much prefer my old bread knife,
had it 45years :rotfl:

Hi

Can I come back please?
DD1's going on a couple of school trips this year and I've just spent slightly more than I should have on DD2's birthday so I'm needing to cut down! In addition DS has applied for university and I'm really starting to get a bit jittery about money (I'm probably not alone!).
I'd like to start with £400 please for February (I know this is a bit high) and really try to cut down, hopefully by £10 a month this year.

And thank you to the people running the thread!
