I'd like to set a budget of £175 for this month please. An increase on previous months as we've been away, and are starting with less than normal. Underspent on my £10 budget in March though!!

Oops, I think I clicked on report as a message popped up saying thanks for reporting, but I'm on my IPad and sometimes I can't control it! Very sorry, don't know what post I reported but I didn't mean it!

As to Grocery challenge can i be down for £400 for April, wasn't very successful during March so will try harder this month.

I'm still over on the March thread until month end, but as we are away from Friday for 5 days, thought I'd pop in to say I'd like to take us down to £120 for April - that's all food, toiletries and household stuff for 2 adults (but not petfood for the dog).

That's a reduction of £30 on March (which we look like being bang on at £150 for), but we are away quite a few weekends (expensive, but out of other budgets!) and also are not hosting at all this month.

Have a lovely Easter everyone x

Hi everyone. Thanks zippychick for running the thread again.

Touch and go whether I'll hit my March target, but I'll be there or thereabouts. Something like £9 left in the budget and 4 days to go.

I'm going to stick to the same budget for April. Can you put me down for £195 please? As my challenge always runs for the calendar month, it should in theory be slightly easier to achieve in April as there is one less day to spend.

Just a small spend today even though my month doesn't start till tomorrow - but had to buy fresh vegetables for house rabbit.
Managed to only spend £4.21 which is good as usually a supermarket visit for one item costs about £10.00.;)

Supersavvyme have updated their vouchers, there are some for Mr S too.

If you are a member of staff then the following may be of interest:
Lenor Infusions Concentrate (21 washes) £2.25 - there is a £1 off voucher for this. Makes it 92p after staff discount and voucher.
Lenor fabric conditioner 1.4L £2 - there is £1 off coupon. so 70p after s.d and coupon.
Fairy Liquid Aloe Vera & Cucumber 433ml 2 for £2 - 50p off voucher for this. Makes it £1.20 for both so 60p each after s.d and voucher.
Pampers baby dry nappies £6.65 - £1 voucher for this so £4.65 a pack for the economy pack.

No spends today or yesterday which is a great start to April

Made burgers for dinner tonight - beefburger for OH and pinto bean & mushroom burger for me.

:wave:

As a newbie veggie, your burger sounds delish. Can you point me to the recipe please?
