shopped on Monday as 'ADSA' are shop names not allowed btw?:eek:
£16.16
Took out the £20 from cash machine before I went in which helped!
Spent the remaining on my tea at work on Wed night + cat food
Going well so far, have also quit smoking from Tuesday.. touch wood that is going really well, amazing how much you save just by the fact you don't need to go to shop to buy cigs!
Hope everyone else having a good Thursday :T
Well done, I hope you can stay off them :A£36/£240

Declaring my April/May at £16 over, not to bad as I was over before this week started.
I'm in again for May/June with £240 for a family of 2 adults & 2 teens for all food in and out of the house.
Sunday we are having a take out as it is DS birthday and he has requested it, that comes from the entertainment budget though not the grocery money.
I need a big shop on Saturday as it is like Old Mother Hubbards house in my kitchen.£36/£240

NSD yesterday for me too so still sitting at £106.77 out of a £250 budget. This is my first attempt at this challenge and we've noticed a huge impact on our money as we spent over £400 on groceries last month! Everything that saved is going into our first home budget so we've both got a good reason to think about what we have in before we shop.0
