Decided that my £4.55 spent on bits and pieces in ASDA on Thursday should come under this month's budget. Was taken from the allowed overdraft (naughty I know) so technically I was borrowing from this month's me.

Checking in for the December challenge.

My target is £80 this month, with around £17 carried forward from last month too. I'm not aiming to come in under budget this month, I'm staying with my parents over Christmas, and will give mum everything I have left over to help pay for any food I will eat over the stay (including Christmas day). So the aim is to spend as little as possible over the next 3 weeks, while I target using up all perishables too.

Helloooo everyone, hope you don't mind me joining in.... I can go abit loopy with grocery shopping at this time of year so I'm hoping if I give myself a budget I'll stick to it.

Please could you put me down for £370 .... this will include, all food, toiletries, pet supplies, petrol and clothing plus xmas eve, day and boxing day for 5 of us, plus ds's birthday cake on the 30th.... I'm hoping to have some money left in the pot come the end of december..but we shall see.

First day of Dec and its a NSD here.
Good luck to everyone for this last month of 2013

We had sausage, liver, mash, carrots & cabbage today followed by cherry pie and custard. DH just taken mum home and she has taken a portion for tomorrow to warm up.

A spend of just 69p today on a 2 litre bottle of pop to share while we were out. It works out much cheaper than buying separate drinks and I keep plastic cups in our boot

I will update my signature.

I'm now in my 3rd month of the GC. It's such a help. I'm slowly whittling down my spends. Big thanks to everyone who helps to run this forum. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts. Will catch up on the December posts later.
Please put me down for £440 for December. Thank you.

I spent £38.02 in b and m, lidl and asda today. This did include some baubles for my Christmas tree (I'm going for a vintage style theme in pale green and pink) but I can't be bothered to work out the cost separately.

Got to sit down and meal plan now, as I bought what was cheap meatwise. Pork loin steaks, meatballs and diced chicken which would usually be in 3 for £10 offer, but I paid £5.60.
