    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.

    £80.69 spends over the last few days but that is all the meat bought to last til the end of the month. I am hoping to have no more major spends now just milk bread etc .:)

    ....EDIT: DH went shopping as well. Careful budgeting now out the window - we're now right on the max for this month, with another week to go. So frustrated!

    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.

    My April started yesterday so declaring £170 and a few pennies for march which is a £20 overspend due to going away for a weekend.
