Hiya folks
Thank you Zippy and Coxy for organising the thread again
We are in for November and, although we are away for a few days at the end of the month I am staying on the usual budget of £200 for the month.
This includes all our food, laundry products, cleaning products and toiletries. Our month runs from first to last day of the month, so still on the October thread until 31st.
Hope you all have a great month and good luck with coming under budget

Hi I run 20th - 20th and I’m going to try weekly this month £50 a week for 2 adults DD8 & DS4 and 2 cats! Il pulling the strings right in and we were wasting £300 a month and I don’t think we need that so going to try it this way - looking at an asda click and collect to just stick to my meal plan so aiming and £25 and the rest for if we need any fresh fruit and veg and maybe some more meat (I don’t like the supermarket meat) might be harder as is HT here this week but I’m sure we will manage!Living the simple life0

I've worked out that I'm spending around £100 per week. November is a four week month for me and I'd like to ease myself in gently and spend no more than £350 for the month.
