    Please put me down for £290 to include groceries, household cleaning items and formula. Having started and not succeeded each month I'm determined to make it a success in July! My month runs from 20th to the 19th. Off to Lidl to get this weeks groceries - wish me luck!
    £7.68 spent on a book of 1st class stamps yesterday to finally send thankyou cards for all of the baby presents!

    Hello! I used to lurk regularly but haven't been on the site for a while... I paid back a hue amount of debt but just before I got to the debt free point, stupidly got a new credit card and a loan. I have no idea how much I usually spend on groceries but at a guess about £400... for 2 of us. So.. please count me in for July. My month will run from 24 June to 24 July and includes DS's 16th birthday so I'm going to aim for £250.
    Say what you mean.. mean what you say... without being mean.

    spent £47.26 in Lidl yesterday and this should last the week apart from a small top up of fruit/ veg and salad at the market on Saturday. I've updated my signature.
    NSD today as it's miserable outside and my DD has started teething....at 9 weeks!

  • Hello!

    Please could I join the July groceries challenge? My monthly budget is £150 (weekly £35). I get paid on the 27th and it will be 30 days before I get my next salary. I calculated £5 per day for myself (BF visits but is very good at sharing food bills with me).

    Have some debts to clear and starting my MA so all money is going to pay tuition and clear my credit card debt of £3700
