    Declaring £89.17/£100 for July. Previously was averaging £115 a month over the last 6 months so if I can stay at an average of £100 that will be a saving of £180 a year. Amazing what a seemingly small amount can add up to over time.

    My total spend for July £138.44 which includes some stock pile bargains. A weeks self catering and treats whilst away eg fish n chips and chip lunch and ice cream
    Why pay full price when you may get it YS ;)
  • Came in at £332. So over the £250 I had set myself, but at least half what I now ally spend!!! That's great - would not have done it without this thread, thanks to all those who posted supportive messages, I so nearly gave up mod month and you definitely pulled me through.

    Onwards!
