In case anyone is interested Groupon has a £5 for a £10 gift card offer. Only one purchase per person, but good to effectively get half price food.

Hi everyone
I am on a roll, i have managed to stay with Mays grocery budget, and am convinced that i can do June too, especially since i have now given up buying any alcohol.

Hi everyone, after failing for the last two months I am determined to hit budget this month. As it's my birthday in June we may well have a barbeque so I will go for £250 this month please.

Hi everyone.
I have done a big shop to use my first Mirror voucher. Because we have a lot of stuff in the fridge and the freezer to use up I did an inventory and a meal plan and once i had got all our essentials and fresh stuff I got months worth of fruit juice, coffee, loo roll and cereal which took my total just above £40 so I could get my £5 off.
Next week I'll use my second voucher to get a months worth of meat and toiletries along with our fresh stuff. After that I will try really hard to stick to very small top up shops until pay day.

My month starts today - decide against home delivery and went to l#dl instead. Used a voucher for five pounds off so my total is £78.20. I did put a few `luxuries` in too, but other things should last longer than the month such as wash powder and wul

Hi all, been absent from this board for a few months but would like to rejoin please! My cupboards are just too full and so is my freezer, so I figure if I use it all wisely I can come in with a low spend for the 5 of us (2 adults, 3 kids). So £200for this month please
