  • Thanks for the new thread.

    After a few months off I too would like to rejoin this thread. Also, trying to use up what we already have in so my budget is £50 for me and my 4 year old.

    My month has started today as this is when I got paid. I spent £10.40 at Aldi and apart from milk this will do me until next weekend. I must resist the urge to buy ys items when next at the shops.
    GC: Feb (16th Jan - 15th Feb) £46.25 / £50 :)
    Mar (16th Feb - 15th Mar) £61.96 / £70

  • Hello everyone! Thanks for getting the thread going zippychick and coxy.

    Well I am uming and ahing at the moment on what budget to go for I don't know whether to settle at my normal budget or be brave and drop it. I think as I am trying out a new meat company and am ordering 4 - 6 weeks of meat depending on how well I can stretch the joints I'll stick this month and maybe change next month.

    So £320 this month please :)

    I'm looking for some tips on how to budget a 6 week payment into a 4 week budget. Basically this new company do regular boxes and the bigger you go the more value for money they are. I get 20% off the first order which is a fair bit so I am going for the biggest box. Anyway I need to figure out how to budget for it as the box covers 2 budgets (ie Feb and half of March) but is one payment so advice is much appreciated :)

  • Hi I have had my first spend First my daughter has Conjunctivitis so £5.45 on drops
    Then Aldi and I got some of their super 6 eggs and marshmellows £11.78 Daughters choice
    She was told if she was good I would take her Mac d's but really did not want to spend the money so I managed to convince her a pizza from lidil was better and so drinking chocolate so we spent £7 in their.
    Comes to £24:23 and I don't plan to need anything else this week maybe milk as we are quite stocked up.
