Hi all spent £1 today on a tiger bloomer and that's been it.
Desperately need to do a big shop but I need to wait till weekend.

Hi all,

Please can you put me down for £100 for April? I'm away for a week for my birthday, but will be seeing (and possibly feeding) lots of people throughout the month.

Still in March, not doing well... . See you inApril!!

Hi can I join in please. I am technically on March, but have decided in order to stay in budget, I will put any new spends here. Not intending spending anyway. Can I have my usual £80. I really would like to get that lower by properly meal planning, but for the mo, that's where i'm at.

Has anyone else bought a meat hamper from Market Porter using the MSE code? I've ordered the roast meats hamper.

I needed eggs, milk, bread etc from Iceland and I bought my son a birthday cake from the Co-op, I could kick myself now, I usually make family cakes but I really couldn't be ars*d this week! :mad:


Meat Porter .......... £30
Iceland ................ £8.75
Co-op ...................£7.00

Hi, didn't post last month but would like to stick to £400 as we have been around this mark for the past few months, would like to get it down further but its still a saving on what we used to spend. Its for 2 adults and 3 kids for the 1st to the 30th.

In again for April, targets of £333.33 but £4,000 for the year.

I have shopping coming tomorrow, which although the last day of March, i am classing it as an April shop not March. It is mostly handwash on offer at Ocado and washing up liquid. I have just bulk bought shower gels and shampoo and conditioner from Superdrug which i will add to April's spend and any Amazon bits due which are groceries or toiletries/cleaning stuff. The rest is yoghurts and a few veggie items for daughter, and a mixture of veggie and frozen vegan bits. Ordered the new Swedish Glace Almond and Cocoa ice cream to try. Does anybody know of any with no palm oil? Seems impossible to avoid unless you make your own.

Will update spends and report back. Not too bothered if i go over in April as it's mine and daughter's birthday. Will be mindful though. Will try and be more consistent with posting during April.

Good luck all.

Hi there, after spectacularly losing the plot with my shopping habit I am going to try again and aim for £500 for this month. I really need it to be a lot less but it's hard for me to not shop. I am still using up freezer and cupboard supplies plus I have the tins I squirreled away in case of bad weather. I am hoping that there is very little chance of snow now so I can start to use them up .
