A warm welcome to all the new peoples and returners :hello:
Had a Mr T delivery today - £26.25 on grocery/household products and used a MOC of £6.
Need shopping at the weekend. Some general things, like plastic bags and gloves, and usual weeklies of fruit, veg, milk and pack-up stuff.
Hope you all have a super weekend and good luck with the challenge

2nd weeks shop yesterday I didn't take my list, disaster and I decided to have a big picnic with the kids so got some extras but forgot lots too. It came to £44.88 which is fine so long as we can manage without the bits I forgot, have rejigged the meal plan so hopefully we can.
£135.93 out of £3300 -

First spend of the month - Didn't take long
£52.04
Ham, Bacon and a gammon joint from the butcher
Iceland have salted butter on 2 (250g) for 1.50.
and I stocked up on some pasta'n'sauce for the hungry daysThat sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

I only have two things to buy on my shopping list at the moment tomatoes and loo roll both of which I can do without over the weekend as there is enough to be going on with indoors.
Probably need a bit of shopping by mid week next week:):)

Hey, got a quick question for you all. Does anybody include meals out in their budget? I'm off to meet a friend and will probably go for lunch which will only be about £5 but I'm wondering if people include things like that in the budget.

I do, because it's a fairly rare event. I also include if I buy coffee snacks or lunch at work, and if I buy a cheeky takeaway.
Some don't. Some maintain a separate 'entertainment' budget that includes meals out.
(and some even count the cost of the meal if someone else pays!)That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
