Declaring £155.86/£190for February. Really pleased with that as last month I went over a bit. There were 16 NSD's in this month as well. For March I am lowering my budget yet again and trying for £180...it CAN be done, I just need to be extra careful.
Hope everyone else has done well this month.

Spent £205, with a target of £120 - that's even worse than last month:o.
I did stock up and I have a full freezer and store cupboard. But I'm trying to lose weight and I am eating less, so exceeding my budget really is pretty poor.Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:
