    Only halfway through my month (running from 15th Feb-14th March).

    Only one day of nipping to the shop last week but I bought 4 pints of milk and spent £3.10 because I bought bread and chocolate too. :o

    Spent £87.15 in Aldi today which makes a total of £260.25/£400 so looks like I can adjust my monthly budget down. I don't know how this compared to others but we have 2 adults & 2 children (14 & 12) plus one adult that eats out and buys his own food a fair bit.

    I suggest you go over to March thread to get support. This thread will go quiet in the next day.

    Oops, I've forgotten to declare for this month! (I'm blaming a heavy head cold that's giving me brain fog.:D)

    Anyway, final week saw 5 NSDs and just £12.82 spends. So, total count for the month is: 19/28 NSDs and a total monthly spend of just £83.46. Surplus of £48.54 :j I'll use some of that towards re-stocking the cupboards and the rest will go into our holiday pot.

    Over to register for March now.....see you all there!
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    Found a receipt which i don't know whether i added or not, do i act like it got lost in the ether :o? I would still be under, but it is for £7.22. I also need to add £10.95 spend that my Dad didn for me in Aldi, as i don't think i mentioned that. Gah!

    Note to self to start writing the dates it is spent when declaring, not just where it was spent!

    Only problem being my new month (payday) starts on the 15th March and the April thread won't be open or will be dead then.

    Spent £57 in Aldi today. Still a few bits still to buy that I couldn't get in Aldi but so far £317.25/£400 month ends 14th March.
