    hi guys! Have gone a little over this month due to a couple of treats for the kids on Saturday.


    I am declaring a day early as the shopping we are doing today is really for april and is only being done today as we need to go to sainsburys to make the most of the nectar double up and lidl is next door so seems silly to make 2 journeys.


    We have the voucher for £10 off £50 at lidl so that's a help

    Spent rather more than planned but have still come in under budget so I'm pleased with that. I spent a total of £35.11 on food, although this did include a leg of lamb and beers for DH. I did actually spend more than that as I needed to buy batteries and printer inks but I have a separate budget for things like that - they aren't included in the GC!

    I'm declaring a total of £239.92/£250. I didn't quite make my NSDs this month was hoping for 20 but fairly pleased with getting 19!

    Off to the April GC for the next shop which will be on Thursday.

    Not spent much at all this month and the final total is £110. 06 - just over half of the budget that was allocated. :j
    This has been achieved by eating numerous things from the freezers and cupboards plus not being able to eat properly again.
    Cant see April coming in as low somehow.
    MARCH £62.38/250

  • Just under my target for March. I thought I might get under £200, but my final shop of the month was a biggie. Hope to match in April - may be difficult with Easter holidays.
