All my shopping is got for this month and I have just over a tenner left over As my DD and I and three of her boys are going out today to the British Music Experience at the O2 arena we will use that to pay for the ice creams after our picnic ( but no where near the Arena as it would probably cost that for one :):))
New month begins for me on Saturday and I shall have as usual my £60.00 buget for June

Ended up having a BBQ last weekend so have gone completely over budget this month - £276.04 / £200 and I need to buy a red cabbage today so will add that on later.

Have done an AF order but that won't be delivered until next week so will count that in June budget.

Must try harder next month and eat out of the larder / freezer more :cool:

Still at least I have a good store cupboard going into the next month and hopefully will start getting veggies out the garden soon (new potatoes nearly ready, courgette has started flowering) so that might reduce my spends!

Slightly over budget now by £1.57, due to a £3.25 spend in the C*-*p ... (£2 on a six-pack of kitchen towel ( i use this for draining any fat/water off food and for pet accidents), 25p on carrots and £1 on Hoops and crosses. Didn't really need the crisps but kids seems to eat twice as much off school.

Don't expect any more spends now til Sat 1/6, so i'm very happy with this result £301.57/£300

This is my final spends at £4.01 in Te$co, had ran out of the OH dairy free milk and thought I might as well buy a baton for tea rather than putting on the oven. And that's it. So total spends at £383.85 so have overspent by a mahoosive £63.85 and have got an empty ish freezer and everything, I think I badly underestimated there Off to June's thread and see how well I can budget then

Does seem a lot to be over but looking at your signature, you started at 400.00, had a massive saving in Feb and have done brilliantly with your 2.00 and 20p coins, perhaps you a re saving too many coins, I started to save 2.00 coins from the grocery budget but gave up when I got eight in one week, my budget is only 20.00.

Anyway Good Luck for June.

£1517 today.

4 jars of canderal sweetener as it was half price. Milk, kids yogs, a tiger loaf, pizza for kids dinner tomorrow.

Had to spend £5 in sains to get free parking whilst the kids were bowling. So I bought 3 packs of half price bacon (£2 each for 10 rashers) 2 packs ave gone in the freezer and one in the fridge for dinner tonight. Had McDonald's for lunch so bacon sarnies all round for dinner

I keep forgetting to get juice!
