Good morning everyone
March budget for Highland Fling will be £160. However this month I will also be setting myself a budget for "social eating".

Good luck everyone.:)

Many thanks to zippy for all her efforts over the years and thank you to elsiepac for taking us on!

I don't post too often but I read regularly and I maintain my systems - over 7 years doing this now! :eek:

I am nestling at £349.12 over the first two months of the year, against my annual budget of £3,500. It looks a generous budget at this stage, but we have planned a BBQ for August bank holiday weekend for over 100 people so maybe not. I will budget separately for drinks and meat but salads and hot foods like lasagne and chilli for those staying over will be out of this budget.

I would like to put down £175, please trying for a few lower months.

I'm aiming for £310 this month. Bit short on funds this month. My month starts Monday but I'm at 108.24 spent already. It's a four week slog this time so here goes. Good luck all happy shopping.
Couldn't get my number red but I'll keep trying

Please sign me up with a budget of £200.

This is for a two person household. I know that is quite a large sum but I shop at Costco once a month, as I like to fill our freezer for any emergencies.

Please can I join... My grocery spending last year has crept up ridiculously, I’m going to start with a total of £350 for March.

It’s so high for one adult and one teenager, it’s embarrassing, I need to wean myself off convenience food, expensive take out lunches and plus teenager seems to eat his body weight in cereal daily !!!128580;

While I will not finish February until Thursday, please put me down for my usual £120 for March. (February has 93p remaining in the pot.)

Thx

Pip

Selloptape,

I know the feeling! It’s not the weekly shops that are a problem for me - it’s the little trips for fizzy pop etc that cause all the problems.

I am going to pay my groceries with cash this month and leave the bank card at home!
