My goal is $300 USD...I am up to $211 thus far. We are pretty well stocked for most things; we might need milk and salad greens before the end of the month.

Last month's total was $475.

Have just totted up my spend for yesterday's main shop and came to £20.73, so not too bad.

Total spend so far this month is £97/£250 and up to 9 NSDs so far including today as not going out so won't be able to spend anything!

Now up to £76.30/£140
Went to T*sco this morning for a few bits and spent £7 and used a 50p off voucher. Looked at the 'Valentines' meal deals and they looked a bit naff so went to L*dl and bought my own meal spending £9.40 on a 'deal' of my own. Meditteranean veg, potato gratin, whole (free range) chicken, G*U puddings and chocolate seashells! We have enough booze left over from Christmas/Birthdays to go with it...yum!

Spent a total of £17.97 in L*dl.

Starting to get slightly anxious with getting close to my monthly budget!

Hi all been to A!di today to grab a couple of bits, spent £2.66, Dh spent £1 yesterday on milk. I spent £1.53 on apple juice, double cream and strawberry jam on wednesday as I was making a victoria sponge. Off to add it to my signature, freezer is still really full. Hoping to get one of them emptied at the end of the month so I can defrost it!

Hi Folks

Can I join in this month please. I did quite well last month only spending £283.54/£310 but we did clear out quite a bit of the freezer and the cupboards. I also made the mistake of complaining that I'm fed up with doing all the shopping so my Hubby offered to go. Major error !!!! :eek: He did stick to my list but he didn't check on prices and quite a few items could have been purchased a little cheaper. Still lesson learned and I won't do that again in a hurry

I have however managed to keep on top of my spends and we are currently standing at £87.67/£270.

I need a big shop this weekend so had better finish up and get on with my shopping list.

i spent another $51US this morning and now my total is $261 for the month. That only leaves me $39 until March 1. Fruit and veg are SOO expensive-especially the fruit. I will have to make do for the rest of the month and only send dh to the store for milk or salad.

But i CAN do this...I can.
