    Spent £11.34 @ al*i & £4.44 @ MrM's, yesterday. Bought more than I should have done even though I had a list!

    Stocked up on a little bit of extra freezer food, cheeses and veggies...still will need to go to veg shop on the high street but need very little now.

    But saying all that, we did have a takeaway on Sunday night
    SIG's updated.

    Hope everyone has a good day today.

    Hi All,

    Please count me in for May for £250.


    I am including 2 adults in this - we have gone from two wages to one and we seriously need to come in under budget.

    This is to cover all food and household bits, my month runs 29 April to 31 May and includes 2 bank hols!

    Looking forward to getting to grasps with other threads to help me out, will be reading past challenges and the tips etc. (I have been a lurker for too long!)

    Fingers crossed for all this month.
    GC Jan '17 £237.54/£350
    GC Dec £193.02/£400

    Please put me in for £75, I set an unrealistic £50 last month, this will cover all my shopping and dog food.
    I am finding this a great help, it really focuses the mind.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Hello, I'd like to join in this month. Please can you put me down for £60. We have a ridiculously massive stockpile in the freezer and cupboards so my intention is to work through this and not buy anything but the bare essentials (and cat food!).
