April's grocery challenge a great success which I'm chuffed about.
Came in at 171.21/200.
I also increased my NSD to 7.
The only thing that I wanted to decrease and increased alot was my eat out spendy treats(think I might have wanted to decrease too much too quickly as a beginner). But even if this was all balanced out, money wise I was still better off by 17.08 so I am happy with that.

Our April ended yesterday. I'm declaring £167.09/£150. -£17.09.
Over budget by just over 11%. However for May will still go by £5 a day for both of us. If we go over again I may have to think about upping the budget. I know prices have gone up; I work in a Supermarket so I really see the change in costs.I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy
