Hi. Not done this for a couple of years but can I be put down for £250 for January please. This will include all food, toiletries etc and eating out for me. Kids have their own money so if they eat out it's not from my budget

Good luck folks x

Hi,

Can I please be put down for £400 for January. That's for two adults and two teenagers and will include all our grocery shops and any takeaways (which we are trying hard to avoid).

Thank you 😃

Budgets updated to here

Welcome to all the new joiners and returners!

I've done my second week's shop of the month and come in slightly over my planned budget at £31.59. I had to buy a few bits for my friend and she's bought me odd bits in the past, so I refused to take any money. But it came to about £4 so actually I'd have been under budget if it wasn't for that. I've adjusted my remaining week's budget to account for the extra. Still do-able if I keep planning like I have been.
On the menu this week is:
Lunches:
Chipotle Corn Chowder x3
Moroccan Chickpea Soup x3
Teas:
Smoky Vegan Sausage Pasta x1
Sriracha Tofu Stir Fry with Noodles x2
Mushroom Macaroni x3

YorksLass Thanks - I like the idea of a freezer fund and I'm going to do this too. What usually happens is that as I start to run the freezer down I panic because it looks empty and fill it back up again If I know that I have money put away to do a freezer shop I think I will be more relaxed about using all the stuff in there.

So..... out of my £50 per week I'm hoping for no more that £40 on food, £5 saved for freezer stock up and £5 saved towards special occasions food (like birthdays etc).
