I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN lol I thought that might be bright enough! I kind of stalked the September thread for the last week and feel we could really cut down. I haven't collected our receipts however did a weekly shop today and have started now! In the house is myself, my OH, our 17 YO niece and our 4YO daughter. And a cat lol! So at a rough estimate I would say we probably spent around £450 last month however in all honesty I have no idea! I am looking to cut our weekly shop to around £60 per week which I think should be achievable. I will be collecting my receipts from today and see how much we spend until 18/10 so I have a better idea for November but starting now!
You guys have some amazing tips! Tomorrow I will be doing a stock check of my cupboards and freezer and going from there!
Thanks!

Hello all. Please count me in again. October budget of £250.

September going OK, the no biscuits/crisps/sweets/junk policy has really made a difference and I've bought some winter store cupboard bits too, hoping October will be similar.

Thanks to all for the threads and inspirational posts.

Going to stick to £400 for October please. This is to include getting some stuff in for my halloween party, my fireworks party and even some christmas bits!

Hi everyone

After being AWOL for a while and getting completely off track I am back!!

Back more determined than ever to get my spending under control and for my food spending I am reigning in the pennies.

So my October Budget is £100 p/w starting on the 30th.

Off to plan my meals for this week.
