    Declaring February done £103 spent so £21 under and a total of 20 N.S.D.
    Do I need it or just want it.
  • whoop whoop I managed to almost hit my very small budget £133.36/£130. I'm not going to quibble over £3. Our actual budget set aside each month is £180 but this year I have been trying a combination of doing a store cupboard shop at Aldi once a month and then going to the sm's for ys stickered items.

    It has been a bit of a struggle with not having snacky stuff around so I think for next month I'll budget £150 :)

    £45.33 sm delivery yesterday so I've gone over again at £106.93/£90. Still using up storecupboard items as well so need to have a closer look at where savings can be made once RL calms down a bit.

    Heh all

    I am declaring February spend as £290.05 from a £300 budget. This was up to and including 28th Feb and I'm now counting as March. I have spent more than I expected but under budget so I can't complain - but budget is cut to £260 in March. Had 18 NSDs against a target of 14 so really pleased with that as would have gone many more times without this target to aim for - aiming for minimum of 18 in March also.

    See you on the March thread and well done everybody. Thanks so much for the help, inspiration and support I've found here - you're all a real wealth of knowledge and experience.
