October declared at £100.55 ( had £150 budget). Am very happy with that. Being back in this challenge really focused my spending.
Off to November challenge now!0 -
I'm declaring £227.52 for October. My budget was £400, but it was my first month of the GC, so I'm going to reduce that to £300 in November. Think I made a good start though - definitely thinking before spending.3-6 month EF Challenge Member #19: £3590/£6000.[/B] Craft destash from 22.5.22: 46/200.

Well went over budget again, but I still feel without this challenge I would go off the rails completely! :rotfl:
Aiming for £400 again next month. I will do it one day :rotfl:

£197.48!
I went over my budget of £140 by loads. I guess I got complacent by my lower spending over the past few months, but that was probably because I was running my freezer down more and now I'm having to replenish it a bit more so.
I'll try to be a bit more realistic with next month's budget0 -
Am really surprised....have totted up my grocery food spend and it was just £56.05 on myself (including a year's stash of nuts!) and £11.20 on others.
Total: £67.25 / £100
Eta: Does that mean I can c/f £32.75 to the last 2 months of the year?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
