I didn't stick to a budget at all last month which is probably why I have 4 days to payday and a very empty bank account!

Please can you put me down for . as it is a 5 week month here and this is for everything for 2 adults a 3 year old who eats as much as me, my GF diet and a small dog and covers all food, drink, alcohol, toiletries and cleaning etc.

I am going to try Internet shopping again to cut down on the four trips to the shops or more that have happened each week recently and I have some big minimum spend vouchers each week for this month. We have a brand new Mr T extra opening next weekend about 5 mins from our house:eek: it's a good job DH is away or we would be paying a visit and coming out without a trolley full of nowt!

Put me down for £220 again this month. I don't think I can go any lower for 2 of us plus large dog, DGS nappies and all the family round every weekend for a roast.

Can you put me down for £50 again please.

My new month starts tomorrow and I still have a lot of leftovers from last month! Already have a meal plan for this week, so will just be picking up some basics to start off the month

I'm going for £200 but thats for petrol too for the 3 of us. I have so much food in, so the £80 on food(£30pw on petrol easily) for the next 4 weeks will be for fresh items needed for the fridge, carrots etc. DD likes the value fromage frais and the value yogurts, value OJ, milk we have frozen, cheese will be value or on offer, fresh ve all seasonal or from the garden, bananas, apples etc locally.

We have loads of red spuds in from Makros, frozen veg, tinned veg etc. The extra £100-£150 will be put in the holiday fund!
