Hi there everyone.
Would it be OK if I join please. I live on my own and I'm going for £160 for January (1st-31st) This seems an awful lot compared to many of you budgets.
I rarely spend any money in the week at all. Ijust spend about £40 on a Saturday in Tesco/Lidl/Sainsbury. This includes everything I need: Food, all toiletries , cleaning stuff.
So far I have spent £3 on grapes! £157 left............

Hi everyone happy new year. I haven't started spending yet as had food in following Christmas/new year. It's going to be an unusual month grocery wise this month as I'm doing dry January so will be £0 on alcohol and also starting Jason Vales juice challenge on Monday which is 14 day juice plan and 7 day super food plan. Will be interesting to look at costs for thus but will still have two adults to cook for.

Good luck all.
