I'm in use it up mode as well. Still have loads of pasta, rice and the like left from the beginning of May shop, which is great, but I'm running out of ideas for things in the presses that can go with them.
Am putting my shopping list for my big June shop together as well. It's getting long!

Still on the May GC but will try for £220 for June again please. Very doubtful am going to make Mays target but keeping it the same for June - (mind you May turned out to be a 5 week month for us where as June is only 4)
Thank you to everyone who keeps the thread running smoothly and to all who post and make suggestions.
Good luck to everyone for June.

I have no idea how much I have spent for May as I have a pile of receipt stuffed into my journal which I daren't tally up - everything has gone slack and I have gone WAAAAY over my £300 budget - June is a new month though so I need to suck it up and get back on track!
Please put me down for £300 for 1st - 30th June.
Yesterday I made 3 large chicken pies, 2 apple pies and 10 portions of chilli so at least there is something in the freezer to get me started!

Please can i be put down for £300 again, thanks. I have just done another Approved Food order, but as it isn't due til about the 30th May, i will add it to this budget and not May's (which i am still in til 30th). I can't physically consume it until June anyway. I also had £10.99 credit, as i found a foreign object in a Bakin' Boy muffin, so the total has come to £13.00 odd less that.

I also have a Cloud 9 order coming on Saturday which will be about a tenner, but again i won't use this yet so will add half to June, and half to July as i won't use the fabric conditioner until July, as at the mo have loads, but want to take advantage as the lady only delivers here about every six weeks.

I hope to crack it this month as not having to add any more delivery savers, though i am still able to shop til 10th of June. I can probably squeeze two £40 shops in from 1st til the 10th, and then I can stick to a shop of £25 to qualify for delivery from there on in! Thank goodness it's only a four week month. I'm also going to hopefully finally manage to spend my coupon at Ald* for the first time in three months, as I either haven't had enough shopping or can't get there/get coupon.

Here's hoping

Spend of £5.93 added to sig.
Dinner was more food in MW - jacket potato + honey roast gammon + spicey baked beans.
My sink/taps and worktops are now in the kitchen.

Please can I join in? I've kept all this months receipts and scared myself! I'm gonna start with a june 1st budget of £400 but thats gotta include catfood for 15 cats and a dog(I live on a farm, theres room for them all!)
Thankyou
