Hi everyone,


Budgets list update to here


Welcome/welcome back to:
frugalk15 and Save Dosh


Just to clarify what I was saying about posting big and red - it's only your weekly/monthly/annual pledge that needs to be big and red NOT every spend you make throughout the month. I add you to the list and that's it, I don't amend everytime you spend - that would be a full time job lol!!!! Hope that's clearer for everyone


Good luck all
Coxy

Work paid us a week early in December as otherwise pay day fell on Christmas Day however Mr. Chief Exec has no intention of moving pay day this month so that's an extra week to stretch everything out!


Not too much of a problem as we have lots in; the main things we will need are: milk (semi skimmed and whole), toilet roll (first time in months as we usually get it bogof at Makro!), oven chips, potatoes, cheese and ham. One pack of each should last us two weeks so I'd estimate £10 there - allowing £2.50 for a decent block of cheese!


Will also definitely need formula I would say; a tub usually last the best part of two weeks and I still have 1/3rd maybe 1/2 of the current tub. I'll use Boots points to pay for this though as I have over £30 saved up on my advantage card!


Swapping to Aldi almost exclusively as of January's wages so hoping to really bring the cost down off to decide on a shopping list and a budget!

Spent £7.02 yesterday on YS bread and sausage, eggs and biscuits. I liked the bread I made a few days ago, but the YS bread was cheaper than the ingredients would've been and is easier to toast. I find that there's almost always YS bread at my Mr S, too. Today's a NSD, and I have a fridge of tasty leftovers so shouldn't need anything for at least a few days... though I'll probably end up in the store sooner than later.

ETA: Also spent £5.55 on beverages yesterday.

Massive shop day today, consisting of 4 shops, plus dry cleaners.


Mr T - £7.78 and I forgot to use my £1.92 voucher
Mr M - £42.15
Mr I - £30.60
Pets - £8.20 chicken food
d/c - £9.50 still shocked over this for dry cleaning a suit, need find another frugal way for next time!


So total of £98.23 today plus another £10 on my personal boys challenge (bc).


Although this is over my £70 a week, I was expecting it too be higher as we have theme night tomorrow for 13 people, so ignoring d/c only really £10 higher


Will update sig now
