    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!
  • Evening, can you please put me down for £150 starting from 25th if this month.

    Thanks
    SIL

    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 budget :)
    Original 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.

    Thanks for this thread and the forever cheerleading of the OS community xxx

  • Can you add me in please - I'm aiming for £95 just for me as I live alone. By the end of the month I'm hoping to have made a dent in my freezer and cupboards as they're absolutely heaving. I get paid tomorrow as get paid 4 weekly so will run 21/10 - 18/11.
    Hoping this thread will encourage me!

    I'd like to be back in with a budget of £75 please. I'm hoping to come in significantly under but also to start stocking up for Christmas!

  • 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.
