Declaring final Nov spend as £289.08to stop me spending anything this weekend - there's plenty of food in the house.

Afternoon

I've caved in and made a Sainsbury order for this evening which will take me over budget so now, this minute, will have to be the end of my November. I've spent £313.74/£325 so I'll add the £11.26 to Dec - whatever that may be!

Hope everybody had a good month.

Spent £5.88 yesterday in Mr A on a few bits.


Our December starts today, payday, so I can total November at £158.37.


Under budget. I am soo pleased :j:j . I honestly didn't think we would come under £160 but we have which smashed the realistic budget of £200 I gave November.

Whoops just found some receipts while clearing out my purse. Still came in under budget but actual total was £287.85

Teeny tiny spend of £1.67 today at asd* for rolls and potato wedges. I'm still hoping to come in a little under budget. Only 2 days to go so fingers crossed

Dipping out of this as already over, and i might take a break for December and try and come back with renewed vigour for 2015.

Declaring a £270 spend for November, bang on budget, rounded to whole £s.

Planning two NSDs over the weekend, if I manage I shall have accomplished my NSD challenge, but will only declare it for certain on Sunday night.

Oh that's a shame K9. Maybe have a rethink as we'll miss you

Well done Caterina. You did well on your new estimating strategy eh and still some left in your 'stock buy' budget


I had another NSD today. I am really beginning to think that is one of the answers to staying on budget - shop with a list so you don't need to go near the shops most days :money: Will have to do a small shop tomorrow as out of bread and little fruit left.


Hope you all have a savvy Saturday

Just popping in to update (which I should've done much earlier!)
So have spent this month £3.89+£4.98+£55.37+£23.16 which added to my first spend gives a grand total for November of £115.95:j

So now all I have to do is get the rest of my spending under control:eek:

Off to join the December thread.
