Wrapping up September today with £44.32 out of £70 spent. Very pleased with myself!
The leftover £25 in notes is going towards next month's £70, and the tiny bit of change has gone in various pots.Because it's fun to have money!

I had one last shop for the month and am declaring at £539.82.
Over budget but not too bad considering housewarming party and some baby clothes. Also I have a lot of stuff in the freezer and lots of store cupboard items. On the plus side, hubby hasn't done many secret shops this month.
See you in the October thread and will try my hardest to tot up as I go!Grocery Challenge Jul £380.75 Aug £637 Sep £539.82 Oct £53.43 / £475
