Just back from my shop and pleased to say I only spent 2p more than I'd hoped - £15.02. This brings my total for the month so far to £181.84/£250.

I think I might just not spend until Thursday, that will bring my nsd's (inadvertently) to 7 in a row - a fiscal fast I was not intending to do !! I still have my £6 something left and my £10 M&S voucher, so I think I will be on budget by the skin of my teeth. Good luck everyone, and I will be back to update any spends and with final total.0

Sorry to hear you been poorly CountingPennies and hope you are feeling much better now.
Spent £20.51 in A1di this morning. We have had a low spend month so far (mainly due to eating more out of the freezers) and only 6 days to go. Just under £100 left of the budget which is brilliant. :T
Will make some roasted red pepper and tomato soup tomorrow and while the oven is on probably do some flapjacks or similar.MARCH £62.38/2500 -
