Please can you put me down for £375 for October please?

This is a 5 week month for us, 20th September to 21st October and will include everything bought at supermarkets, takeaways and any snacks and drinks bought when out and about.

Thank you to everyone who keeps the thread going and everyone who posts and shares recipes.

Hia, I am going to join. with an aim of £30 per week for October. Which works out about £4/day to cover one adult, one child and one kitten. This amount will need to cover everything - breakfast, packed lunch, dinner, and snacks. With it being Halloween then too, it will need to cover any additional treats.

I'm going to stay at £150 this month please. I think we've gone over this month by a little, so will try again next month, which will start on Saturday.

Hi everyone - thank you for the dedicated ones who keep me on track! This is my second month and I am just a bit addicted, saying that, the OH is getting into it too!

I was £10 over in my first month of £220.00 which wasn't too bad, very pleased as it was still a £50.00 saving on the previous month!

We have a water bill this month and one next month so I am going to attempt to drop it even further to get to £180.00. My month is 4.5 weeks (28th Sept - 27th Oct) and I know I have a few essentials like washing powder and dog food to get so hoping to do my bigshop/littleshop technique again as it worked well last month. My birthday is right at the end so think I may stick with a MR T's BNI special to celebrate

Here goes.... good luck everyone x

Thankyou for the new thread

I'm going to stick to £160.00 this month, but hoping to be able to start knocking £10 or so off it this month.

ooo thanks for the new thread.
my target in september was £350 and I have gone over that and it not even the end of the month yet, but it was my first attempt
I will be joining this from the beginning though and taking more better advice, I love this thread. so will keep my target as £350 this month, and hopefully start to lower that from next month
