lynnejk

Hiya everyone and a warm welcome to the new peoples :hello:


Declared for May at £147.09/200 so £52.91 back into my bulk-buy fund :j


DH went shopping today - with a list - and managed to only 'forget' two things and buy an extra three things - definite improvement but way to go, especially as potatoes were one of the 'forgotten' items :rotfl:


Being as everything was to use from the morrow onwards I am starting my month with this shopping so


A*di...............£16.38
£stretch..........£ 5.95
Morrys............£ 5.85
Total of £28.18 and have put on my siggie already.


Good luck everyone and hope you all have a frugal month :T

I managed a nsd yesterday (hooray! ��)
I made veggie soup for lunch with extra for dd's lunch tomorrow. I also made oaty biscuits and choc chip cupcakes for packed lunches too.
OH brought me fruit, bread and milk from his work so I've saved there too. Doing this has definitely made me question every spend, should have done this ages ago!

Hi

Awesome result for May. Hoping to make the £250 target for June.
Lots in the freezer and cupboards so should be OK.
Hope we get some good weather.

Just starting out this month and definitely questioned everything. Went with a list and got nothing more!

Spent
£1.11 in fruit and veg shop
£4.77 in supermarket

£5.88 for today. Giving myself £50 per week and a cushion of £20 per month. Stocks are decent but I have to keep on top of those too.

Hi

Can I join you all on this challenge please. I've done this before, about two years ago but failed miserably and never stuck to any of my rules. But I'm back to it now with a better frame of mind - I actually want to do it this time.
So I'd like to set our June budget at

£150

There's no reason why I can't stick to that as I did a big shop last week so we are well stocked, and me and hubby are having a sensible quiet month with no nights out or takeaways.

My month will end on Friday 26th June

First few shops of the month done and 54.41 spent, must try to pace myself better this month. Fingers crossed! Have a great week all x x x

Can I join please £160 to see me through to the end of the month.


Just spent £3.93 on rubbish in the shop so definitely need to do something drastic! Have lots of food in, might have to buy bread and milk but that should do us till well into next week.

First shop of the month for me and £8.70 spent. Most of that was on veggies that should see me through a few days .:)
