    I can't believe we are on page 6 already. My month will finish on the 31st May, and will be on to post my final total.

    However, for June could you please put me down for £125 please.

    I am going away for a long weekend in June to one of my favourite cities - Liverpool. So, although I won't be buying groceries I will be eating and drinking out :beer:. Different budget though :D

    Right, back again to try again!!!I think i'm just being unrealistic in my budget so this month I'm going to just work on keeping track of what I actually spend and go from there
    so far this month (from payday on the 28th) I have spent £112.16
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    hello -- these were on the weekly email and the aldi one has already been mentioned here but just a reminder...
    Aldi £5 off £40 if you buy the daily mirror/daily record tomorrow.. lasts till 6th june

    and
    If you go on facebook and "like" Lidl then you can print an ecoupon for £5 off £30 - valid from Thur 30th to Sun 2nd June

    I have just printed the Lidl one as much better value and I'm more likely to spend £30 than £40 .. XX
    CC1 £7,944.10
    CC2 £2,680.03
    CC3 £1,020.88

    Can I be put down for £280 again please. I need to start stocking up on bits for days out in the summer holidays (only on offer! ) my girls like nutrigrain bars and they are £1 ATM in sains so I've bought 7 boxes. Will also be staing with sil for a week at the end of July and would like to take some food with us (she's single and we are a family of 4 so I don't want to turn up and eat all her stuff)

    Please can I be put down for £200 to cover groceries/toiletries/household items for two adults, from May 28th - June 27th. Many thanks.

    I have done an online shop that is due Friday, so when I have the exact amount spent I will update my signature.

    Looking at my cupboards/freezers I need to sort them out and make a list of what I have in so that I start to incorporate items into actual meals!:o

    I will go and make a start now.

    Good Luck to all.

    January 2025 Grocery Challenge: £220.00/£59.47

    £1.68 on washing powder today which is our first June spend (although I had added £7.50 to June's budget as I did a big AF order and split it across a couple of months).
    Hoping for a really frugal month of eating out of the cupboards and the freezer as I seem to have acquired a bit of a hoard:o

    Hope you are all having a good start to the new month :)

    Hello, please can I join the June thread with a £200 budget? I am very keen - I did well earlier in the year but then fell off the wagon and stopped counting.... Thanks :-)
