Please could you count me in? I'm going to try £50 for the month. My budget when I moved out into my own home was for £25 a week, but I'm sure I can make do with what I have in the cupboard for a bit for dinners etc. So I want to see if I can cut it right down
thank you!

I'm still on October but will be over shortly. November is a five week month for me as I run it pay day to pay day. Can you put me down for £160 please?
If I manage this it will bring me down to £32 a week for three of us and a dog. It includes all food, toiletries and cleaning stuff but not alcohol. I don't drink much but the odd bottle of wine comes out of my treats and socialising budgetOriginal mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.

Now I've identified my overspend as SLEEPWALKING HOADING lol - can I try £200 again please? I still might drift over but hopefully not.
This month I have empty fridge shelves, can see the back of my fridge but still have rammed cupboards and freezers - I'm hoping now the seasons have changed - to make a big dent in this lot.

Hoping this thread will encourage me!LBM - 30/3/16 - Someone save me from myself!!

Can you please put me down for £225 again. I think I have gone over in Oct and it's not finished yet. I have lost track as oh paid for today's weekly shop so unless he has kept the receipt which is unlikely I don't know how much over I have gone and if it even matters as it isn't out of my money. Good job keeping to budget isn't critical for us.All that clutter used to be money0
