    Came in under budget by £10.41, which will go into my overflow pot, but I did set the budget higher this month. Declaring at £89.41. Hopefully see you all over on August thread. Have a good weekend.

    Can I be in for £240 again please?
    This is for 4 weeks from the 09/07 for a family of 2 adults and 2 teens for all food inside the home and out and toiletries and cleaning items.

    We have a two week holiday in there that will be fully catered for but I'm going to use the budget for those 2 weeks to stock up my freezer with meat for OH and son and also a store cupboard stock up. Other than chick peas and spelt flour it is pretty bare :o

    I've lost track with being on holiday :o

    I get paid on Friday so I will join the August thread. Now to try to meal pan the bits I have left to last the week :cool:
    £36/£240

    Afternoon all
    Well done to all challengers coming in under or on their targets :T
    For those going over - don't beat yourselves up but look on it as a learning curve. Try to work out where you think you are overspending, so next month it will be easier. Remember to read the first posts for ideas and check the recipes. If you need any more help just ask - the only stupid question is the one you don't ask :D

    Spends today of £19.01 in Al*i.
    So declaring for July at £193.92/£200 and with 19 NSDs :j
    Going to August with £6.08 to add to my Bulk Buy Fund when I sort my signature later ;)

    'See' you all next month and hope you enjoying the weekend

    Signing off on July £6 under budget and a total of 21 N.S.D. s. very pleased with that.
    Set myself a limit of £100 too for other spends, which seemed to mount alarmingly.
    Do I need it or just want it.
