  • Hi Everyone

    Just declared on the February thread (14p under budget) and i would like to have the same budget this month of £240.00. Already spent a little but not got the receipts to hand. Planning on a big shop at Aldi using a couple of the £5.00 vouchers so expecting approximately a £100 spend. Good luck everyone x

    Hello!

    February was proper pants but I'm going to get my act together in March!

    We've started shopping on Saturday morning in town rather than a Thursday evening supermarket shop. Still decided which butcher, baker and greengrocer I prefer but Home Bargains, Wilco's etc. make things cheaper.

    Aiming for £50 a wk (including cats and housey stuff) so my target is

    His missus: £250 for March
