    Hi everyone!

    I haven't been around in forever, but am back! Just need a bit more motivation to not buy tons of takeaways... I usually stick to my grocery budget, but then end up not cooking and buying junk. :p

    Can you put me down for £350 for May please? Aiming for £80.00p per week for groceries and a £30 contingency for emergencies :)

    Happy May everyone! @elsiepac could you please put me down for $450 for this month, May 1st to May 27th? I still need to tally up April and finish it off and OH/new husband is still here with me in New York City. He flies back to Scotland next Tuesday and I'll go visit him at the end of the month. So much in motion right now!
