Well I have £10 left for the month, and frankly that's not so bad as I thought it might be earlier in the week!

£3.95 on coffee, apples, nectarines and some salad stuff.
Have managed with only one big shop this month and should be able to last until the weekend so I think I'm going to be under:j

Hi everyone, back from my galavanting - Latitude Festival - such a beautiful place, very kiddie friendly too - I would highly recommend. OK, so did actually get my food included, but still managed to spend over £20 trying out different cuisines - have updated sig. My daughter made a lovely spicy (veggie) mince bean stew, which we had with black bean spaghetti (!!!) - it was so lovely and there was tons left, so gonna try and stretch it out for a couple of meals more for us. Tonight with wraps and salad - perhaps - maybe some spicy garlic wedges thrown in and maybe with jacket potatoes and salad for the next day. Anyway, I have £17(ish) in the budget 'till the end of the month and a packed larder and freezer, plus Sunday dinner is at family, so completely doable as long as I don't give in to temptation. Gonna write a list as need the discipline of coming in on budget.

Personally I would count it. If you hadn't used the card then you would have used your budget. Bit the same as deducting MOCs or vouchers but in reverse IYSWIM as it's money you've saved spending HTH

Thanks.

Feared you would say that, but it's fair enough

£105.83 for me for the month so far then.

£2.50 spent on cheese, also bought lots of crisps but these are solely for my boyfriend so they have come out of his disposable income and won't be counted on the budget.

£3.42 left. EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!

But basically anything under £40 over budget (which is what the last two months have been) would be an achievement.

I went to T today and spent 8.84 on dishwasher salt, milk but earnt 50p on shopitize, napkins for DS nursery party and fruit. Have enough treats homemade through the week to take to the party. Probably the first time I went to T and spent under a tenner! Holidays start tomorrow but determined to see it through with a couple more NS days this week.

Weekly shopping done a day early so I can actually put my feet up tomorrow on my day off! £64.68 at Aldi (6 large shopping bags worth) and £26.75 at Sainsburys (1 large shopping bag) Says it all really
Only £4.74 left of the budget but it renews next Wednesday so other than milk and possibly cat food we should be ok. Signature has been updated.
