I'm in again for July with a budget of £250. Really pleased to have come in under budget for June.
Today is the 1st day of my new month and I'm going shopping to pick up a few bits plus some store cupboard stuff to make use of a Mr S £6 off £30 spend coupon. I've done a list on Mysupermarket and it comes in at £30.08! Just hope they have everything I want otherwise I'll have to change things around so I don't spend under.

Thanks for running this thread
I'm still in June till Monday but saving a place and looking to spend £400 as it's a 5 week month. I think July is my last maternity pay after that my money will come in every 2 weeks so I will just try and run a monthly budget.

Hi there, I'm brand spanking new to posting but have lurked for what seems like years! I would like to join please as I have recently moved house and there's just my wage coming in and I need to be uber frugal.
I propose a budget of £100 for me and my 11 yr old daughter. This will include food, stuff like washing powder and toiletries. We have a panty and freezer full of stuff so I'll give it a good old go.
My pay days are the last Thursday of the month so I'll start this Thursday.
Kind regards
Kate xAs of 5/4/16 :
