    Hiya everyone :hello:


    Not doing so well this month on the challenge. Foot/leg still crock and having to rely on DH to do shopping. He does his best but not quite so tight with the pennies :kisses3:


    So last couple of days


    A*di............16.75
    Morrys..........8.12
    Mr T............12.88


    So total of £37.75 spent and not much left to get to end of month :eek:


    Think I'll be okay for the rest of the week with what we have in now. Hopefully just milk, f & v and DH's pack-ups for last ten days of month fingers xd.


    Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

    A few small shop purchases on Saturday, and a couple of long-term stock uses.
    A couple more stock use ups on Sunday, but the one purchase was an expensive one!
    A few more small stock use-ups today, and no shop spends.

    Spreadsheet shows budget to end of today as £106.12
    Of that I've 'spent' £70.10, with £50.90 (73%) in shops and £19.20 (27%) on long-term stock items. Year to date split now 64% shops : 36% stock.

  • Spent £6.17 on on a few bits - getting very close to my budget - I now have £17.58 'till end of month, but really only need some fridge bits - still.

    I managed to add a few NSDs to my signature. Other than that I probably should have increased the budget this month with both girls home for 2 weeks, needing lunches and special wishes fulfilled during their stay. Never mind, it's great my babies are here :)

  • Hello everyone,

    I haven't been very organised this month and haven't been keeping up. I think its the Easter holidays, and we don't go back until the 20th:eek:

    I have added up my receipts so far and I am at £178.53 to date for the month so far. I am OK for this week I think apart from milk, so will pop out shortly to buy some. I only have £61.47 to last until the 27th so will see if I can manage!

    Good luck everyone.:)

    Spent more than wanted to this morning and now stand at £74.75/£250 having spent £23.89 spread over Aldi, Mr T, Morries, B&M & Iceland. Most of it was in Mr Ts. Only went into Morries for one thing which I could get in any of the other shops - and then had to buy a substitute anyway so might just as well have bought that in Mr Ts as well.

    Almost half way through the month so not doing too bad. Had another NSD yesterday so now up to 9/20 so also not looking too bad to reach my target.

    I've been a bit quiet on here over the last month, however I've been very prudent and stayed within budget. This month I aim to be under £210 but I'll join in again for the May budget as I do find it a bit of a struggle by myself.

    £35.27 to add over the last few days. I am getting a bit worried I might go over this month :eek: I will have to do a stocktake and see what I can do to cut the shopping :)
