Declaring at £105.98 so over budget
. Cross with myself, as I mooched around the shops today and yesterday, which was 4 shops I didn't need to visit. But, as I was over £8 under last month, I'm averaging under £100/month, so still reasonably happy.
My meal plan is all written for next month, with very little needed for the main meals, so (as long as I can squash the urge to mooch) I should be well under my £100 next month.
See you all in June!

Final week of May budget for me and I have come in under! Spent £63 in Ald! yesterday used coupons from newspaper and saved on few bits. saved more than the cost of the paper so I am happy. DD came with me so knew it wasnt going to be a cheap week, and with both kids home and their BF/GF staying over at times, its going to add up. On the other side sometimes they go the the other halves so balances out really. Also went to P0undland to get some bits for the garden although am not counting them in the food budget. All other days were NSD. Good for half term.
I am going to lower my budget for June and try to not go over.Thoughts to all. Mrs D.

Spent £4 odd in Morrisons. DD wanted me to go out for eggs and something else, so also got bread to last whilst i'm in work the next two days. Was going to get sugar but will wait til Mon with online shop as too heavy to carry, and can make do with caster, demerara etc til then. Got a few offers on cashback apps which haven't deducted from total yet, as I can't for the life of me get the receipt to photograph :mad:
Will update sig once I am back near the receipt.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £123.74/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.
