i've still over a week to go on January's budget


have decided, rather than beat myself up every month (I do enough of that in general in winter months) I'm going to go back up to £160for the month with the view to trying to drop it again in march or so when things are more settled.


good luck all

Still on January till the weekend but please put me down for £80 again.

I'm still on January for over another week, but please put me down for £200please this month which will run the 1st to the 28th of February. So that will make it a budget of just £50 a week for 2 adults and a fussy cat. I think that will be a challenge, but it'll be good to be on top of it. That will be cutting me down quite a lot.

( my name wasn't added to the list last month so if you could add me for Feb that would be great, thank you ( still participated anyway😬).

Meg72 You need to go into advanced not quick reply. Well that's how I did it

£200 for Feb please, only 4 weeks, but I don't have the stocks I had in Jan, and youngest is back from Uni for a week of that, so Loo Roll and shower gel costs alone will spiral :rotfl:

£80 having another try.

Hello All,

Please can you put me down for £200.. This is to cover all groceries/household/toiletries for two adults from 27th Jan to 24th Feb.

This year I need to concentrate on grocery expenditure/menu planning. I just find it really hard to get my head around it, goodness knows why. One plan is to try and get by with a couple of internet shops, and the rest by buying as and when needed from the local supermarket. Hopefully, I can then make use of reduced offers, reduce food wastage by buying only what I can manage to carry home.

Good Luck All.

My Feb starts tomorrow until the 17th. I'm going for £240 for 2 adults and 2 teens for all food and cleaning and toiletries.

It will be tight as I used up almost everything this month.

Thanks for the thread Zippy, Coxy and Lynne :A

I'm in again. Still aiming to keep to £5200.0 for the year so this month I'll be trying for £400.
We are away for a week at mid-term so I might even get a bit of slush to go towards bulk buys and store cupboard items.
Thanks for the thread and keeping us in line.
