Hi all. I'm new to this and really need to control my spending and my waist line. Going to start on Jan 1st, New Year new start and all that jazz.

Lets say £200 for the month for food, drinking and other supermarket(ish) based essentials... that is for 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 cat (though I just bought the cat loads of good food for cheap so he is fed for at least 3 months).

Anyway rambling now £200 it is

£150 for me too this month, to include, dog/cat food, toiletries, cleaning bits

Last month I lost all track and spent much more than I should have so I determine to stick with it this month.

January starts today for me and I will be popping to Mr S for some fruit and veg, cheese, normal bread, yogs to cover lunches for the week and some buffet bits for NYE. I will not need anything else until next week. Hoping my list will be about £20 after using my small balance of n3ctar points.

Please can you put me down for a teeny tiny £130 to last me for the whole of this month. We are on a super tight, eat everything in the house/freezer/cupboards frugal month and this is what we have been spending weekly:eek:
