Hi can I join in to ?
My month is 26th Sept - 24 Oct ,I'm going to try £200 and see how I get on. I'm hoping to reduce this next month as I know for 2 adults and 3 cats it's higher than a lot of people manage. I work on a 4 week month as this is how I'm paid.
Good luck everyoneSew it, knit it, glue it, reuse it , don't buy it0 -

Please may I join in? Cooking for two (most of the time) and I've let things slip - so I'm going to aim for £250 (food only) this month, then get it right down!!
Will start at the beginning of October......0 -
I'm always lurking & miss posting on the boards and GC. Now that our little addition is sleeping longer at night I have more stamina to pop online in the evenings again...so I'm back
our october budget (from the 1st) is £400 for the 2 of us, our ds & 6 month old dd, 2 dogs and cat.
Oooh, I'd read the September thread and then posted on here without reading it. I've just seen lots of new people joining/returning like me! Good luck all! xx0 -
Welcome all the new peoples and returners.
I'm still in September and just popped over to have a nose look at what's happening.
Good luck one and all (three months to C* eh)
'See' you all later

Following my top up shop on Tuesday which came from the money I'd allowed for September on return from holiday I didn't need too much today. So 1st spend for October was £11.00/£250. Couldn't believe it came to exactly £11 - bet I couldn't do that again if I tried!
